Weather in March
Temperature
The introduction of March notes a subtle temperature variation to a still moderately hot 27.3°C (81.1°F) from February's 28.3°C (82.9°F). Kireka, during the month of March, experiences an average low-temperature of 17.8°C (64°F).Heat index
The heat index value during March is evaluated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
