Weather in March

March, the first month of the spring in Cheddikulam, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 22°C (71.6°F) and max 34.3°C (93.7°F).

Temperature

The highest point of temperatures falls in March and April, when the average high-temperature ascends to 34.3°C (93.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index for March is computed to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
