As
Rayong advances into
March, the transition into the hotter seasons becomes apparent. Humidity levels see another increase, maintaining the trend from
February. The weather grows warmer, and the rainfall encounters a notable increase. The average rainfall in March almost doubles from February to 70mm (2.76"). Despite these changes, outdoor daylight hours remain advantageous to sightseers.
Temperature
Stepping into March, Rayong records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.2°C (91.8°F), almost consistent with February. Throughout the month of March, Rayong reports a steady low-temperature average of 26.2°C (79.2°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in March is estimated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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 cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in March in Rayong is 77%.
