March weather forecast
Odongk, Cambodia

Moving into March, Odongk experiences temperature swinging from a high of 36.1°C (97°F) to a low of 25.5°C (77.9°F). March weather is marked by a transition towards an atmosphere charged with higher moisture levels. The presence of more relaxed wind movements and the burgeoning humidity levels typically foster a more tropical climate. Compared to the weather conditions in February, native wildlife and lush vegetation in the region respond to this change by thriving substantially. As we look towards April, the weather outlook forecasts increased rainfall and slightly cooler temperatures.

Temperature

Temperature readings reach their annual highs in March, averaging 36.1°C (97°F) and a minimum average of 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

March's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Ensure precautions are always in place. The risk to skin and eyes is high without them. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
