Heat index

The heat index value for March is computed to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

UV index

Note: In March, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
