March weather forecast
Cobija, Bolivia

March in Cobija brings with it a slight drop in humidity to 88% and a minor decrease in rainfall compared to February. As the tail end of the summer season, March exhibits warm temperatures, yet not as extreme as the upcoming months. Paired with the consistent visibility of 6km (3.7mi), this month is favorable for outdoor activities. Given the less cloud cover from 65%, there is an enhancement in sunshine duration. Consequently, March serves a transition from the more humid start of the year, stepping towards brighter and warmer conditions.

Temperature

March's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F) from February's 28.6°C (83.5°F). In March, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in March is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 88%.

Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
