March weather forecast
Pedasi, Panama

Nature continues to be benign in Pedasi, Panama, with March bearing close resemblance to February regarding weather characteristics. Experience calm seas, clear skies, and distinctly lower humidity as the thermometer inches upward. A noteworthy feature this month is the increase in daylight hours, indicating longer days. March moves forward with minor yet observable transitions, preparing itself for a shift in weather dynamics visiting the city in April.

Temperature

An average high-temperature of a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F) marks March, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in February. Throughout the month of March, Pedasi sees a steady low-temperature average of 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

March's heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Humidity

The least humid month is March, with an average relative humidity of 72%.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 7.9 days. Throughout March, 8mm (0.31") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, in Pedasi, there are 261.2 rainfall days, and 1359mm (53.5") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in March interprets into the following advice:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Attention! UV radiation is ramped up when reflecting off sand and water surfaces.
