March weather forecast
Acer, Uganda

The first month of the spring, March, is still a hot month in Acer, Uganda, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22°C (71.6°F) and 34.7°C (94.5°F).

Temperature

Acer records a slight change with March's average high-temperatures adjusting to a hot 34.7°C (94.5°F) from February's 36.4°C (97.5°F). A dramatic downturn marks the March nights, with lows averaging at a pleasant 22°C (71.6°F).

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

In Acer, the average relative humidity in March is 54%.

Rainfall

In Acer, in March, during 11.7 rainfall days, 22mm (0.87") of precipitation is typically accumulated. In Acer, during the entire year, the rain falls for 187 days and collects up to 560mm (22.05") of precipitation.

UV index

January through March and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 during March translates into the following directions:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
