As
March arrives, weather conditions continue their transformative journey. Noticeably, the mercury rises, leading to a slight fall in relative humidity. Rainfall escalates to 105mm (4.13"), a marked increase from the preceding months. This period marks
Trat's subtle transition towards the heavy monsoons, paving the way for an influx of torrential downpours. March, therefore, signifies the beginning of a significant climatic shift in Trat,
Thailand.
Temperature
The introduction of March in Trat notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F) from
February's 31.7°C (89.1°F). Throughout March, Trat anticipates an average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F).
Heat index
The heat index value during March is appraised at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F).
Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
