Weather in March
Temperature
The shift into March reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 33°C (91.4°F), closely mirroring February's climate. Dima's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 23.4°C (74.1°F) during the nights of March.Heat index
March's heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. 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', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
