March weather forecast
Kakambona, Solomon Islands

Weather in March shares similarities to the preceding month, February, maintaining almost steady temperature and relative humidity levels. But unlike February, March marks a sudden escalation in rainfall, reaching 299mm (11.77") and dampening 29.3 days of the month. The wind speed drops slightly, and the sunlight hours decrease, signifying less sunshine throughput. Thus, in Kakambona, the weather in March is distinguished by a notable amount of rainfall and a decrease in sunshine hours.

Temperature

Entering March, Kakambona's average high-temperature reads a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. Nights in March exhibit a minor reduction to an average low temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

March's heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are January, March and April, with an average relative humidity of 85%.

Rainfall

The months with the most rainfall are March and December, with an average 299mm (11.77") of precipitation.

UV index

January through March, June, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In March, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
