March weather forecast
Bonne Entente, French Guiana

March brings a slight variation in the weather conditions of Bonne Entente. This month differs from the earlier ones due to a subtle increase in average low temperature, that is 22.8°C (73°F) from 22.6°C (72.7°F) in February. This slight increase underscores a subtle warming that is only beginning to be noticeable. The month continues to maintain the overall steady climate that is prevalent in this region. Looking forward to the rest of the year, this month acts as a precursor to the more apparent changes of the ensuing months.

Temperature

The transition into March is marked with an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), showing an insignificant shift from February's 29.1°C (84.4°F). During March, Bonne Entente observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

In March, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
