The arrival of March sees an average high-temperature of a still torrid 37°C (98.6°F), hardly diverging from February's 37.5°C (99.5°F). Astrea's average nighttime temperatures present a clear contrast to its daytime highs, measured at a warm 23.8°C (74.8°F) in March.

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In Astrea, the average relative humidity in March is 61%.

Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
