Temperature

At the onset of March, Maturin records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.6°C (90.7°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Throughout the month of March, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 71%.
