March comes with a major jump in rainfall to 72mm (2.83"), over 3 times that of the previous month. Despite the increase in the amount of rainfall, the number of rainy days does not considerably increase, remaining at just four days, making the weather feel more humid than wet. March's daylight hours increase to 12.1 hours, maximising the opportunities for those interested in outdoor activities. Even though temperatures slightly rise, the increased humidity does not let the heat feel overpowering. The inhabitants and visitors in
Prachuap Khiri Khan should come ready for occasional sudden showers.
Temperature
The transition into March marks the average high-temperature at a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), differing minimally from
February's 31.6°C (88.9°F). During March, Prachuap Khiri Khan sees a mean low-temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F).
Heat index
In March, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F).
Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in March is 77%.
