March weather forecast
Paralakhemundi, India

March, the first month of the pre-monsoon summer in Paralakhemundi, is still a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 33.1°C (91.6°F) and min 24°C (75.2°F).

Temperature

With the start of March, the average high-temperature marginally shifts from February's 30°C (86°F) to a still tropical 33.1°C (91.6°F). An average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) is expected in Paralakhemundi, India, during March.

Heat index

March's average heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

February, March and December, with an average relative humidity of 66%, are the least humid months.
