Weather in March

March, the first month of the spring in Wiang Sa, is still a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 23.1°C (73.6°F) and 32.9°C (91.2°F).

Temperature

The beginning of March reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) is common during the nights of March.

Heat index

The average heat index in March is calculated to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

UV index

Note: The UV index of 7 during March translates into the following guidance:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
