Temperature

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

Heat index

The heat index in March is estimated at a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

The average relative humidity in March is 54%.

As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
