The first month of the spring,
March, is still a tropical month in
Narathiwat,
Thailand, with an average temperature varying between 31.9°C (89.4°F) and 23.5°C (74.3°F).
Temperature
The advent of March brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Narathiwat, during the month of March, experiences an average low-temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F).
Heat index
For most parts of March, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F).
Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in March is 81%.
