Weather in March
Temperature
Welcoming March, Barra notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), nearly consistent with February's 29.2°C (84.6°F). Barra observes an average low-temperature of 22°C (71.6°F) during March nights.Heat index
The heat index for March is estimated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
