March, the climate across
Salto experiences a measurably cooler transformation compared to its
February predecessor. Despite the downward trend in temperatures, the city observes its peak rainfall at 153mm (6.02"), ushering in a change to the wet season. Relatively long daylight hours at 12.3 hours continue to encourage outdoor excursions and leisurely activities. March typifies the transition period between seasons, where days are tolerably warm, combined with considerable precipitation. It's a month of serene beauty as the city gets ready to embrace the fresh nuances of the autumn season.
Temperature
March welcomes an average high-temperature of a warm 27.8°C (82°F), not much different from the preceding month. Salto observes an average nighttime temperature of 16°C (60.8°F) during March.
Heat index
March's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in March is 72%.
Rainfall

UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in March is 10. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 10 during March leads to these instructions:
Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide 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. Being cautious under the Sun means limiting direct exposure, especially if you have a tendency to burn. And always wear sunscreen with 30 SPF or higher.
