March weather forecast
Awir, Uganda

The first month of the spring, March, is also a hot month in Awir, Uganda, with an average temperature fluctuating between 19.6°C (67.3°F) and 32.5°C (90.5°F).

Temperature

March brings a marginal elevation to a still tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F) from February's 34°C (93.2°F) in Awir's average high-temperatures. With a notable difference from peak temperatures, an average of 19.6°C (67.3°F) marks the nights in Awir in March.

Heat index

March's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 56%.
