Temperature

Junqueiro experiences its highest temperatures in March, with an average peak of 32°C (89.6°F) and a low of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 babies and toddlers. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 74%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through March, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during March translates into these guidelines:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
