March weather forecast
Pailin, Cambodia

The rich tapestry of Pailin's climate becomes even more intricate with the arrival of March. Pailin's residents prepare for a significant surge in the humidity level, 74%, ushering in the summer months' climactic brilliance. This is matched by a corresponding increase in rainfall, giving way to some mild showers and subsequent temperature fluctuations in the city. As a result, the city's climate is a blend of summer temperatures and rainy season downpours, ideally suited for both tropical plant growth and sightseeing. Situating in a nutshell, the combination of warmth, humidity, and rain characterizes the weather in Pailin during March.

Temperature

The arrival of March records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), closely related to the 31.8°C (89.2°F) observed in February. In Pailin, March's nights observe an average temperature dip to a moderately hot 24.7°C (76.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index in March is appraised at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
