Heat index

During March, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
