Fannie Bay, Australia

The arrival of March brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F), nearly identical to February's 30.8°C (87.4°F). During the month of March, Fannie Bay identifies an average nighttime low-temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F), slightly lower than its daytime counterpart.

Heat index

March's mean heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Beware! Reflecting off water and sand, UV rays are much stronger.
