Temperature

During the warmest month, March, temperatures average a high of 37.9°C (100.2°F) and a low of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

March's mean heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 54%.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
