Weather in March

The first month of the spring, March, is still a tropical month in Apala, Uganda, with an average temperature varying between 19.6°C (67.3°F) and 32.5°C (90.5°F).

Temperature

The onset of March brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F), nearly matching the February temperature. Nighttime in March brings a stark departure from the daily high, resting at an average low-temperature of 19.6°C (67.3°F).

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

The average relative humidity in March is 56%.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
