Temperature

March's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F) from February's 32.3°C (90.1°F). March witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 79%.
