March, the first month of the autumn in Nioki, is still a tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 33°C (91.4°F) and an average low of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

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.
