Weather in March
Temperature
The arrival of March sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 33°C (91.4°F), hardly diverging from February's 33.1°C (91.6°F). An average low-temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F) is noted during the month of March.Heat index
The heat index in March is calculated to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In March, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
