Weather in March

Temperature

February's transformation into March witnesses an average high-temperature of a warm 29.1°C (84.4°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. During March, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 18.8°C (65.8°F) at night.

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
