Heat index

The heat index value for March is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
