Weather in March
Temperature

Throughout March, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
