Temperature

As March takes its course, Bita's average high-temperature registers at a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. Throughout March, Bita anticipates an average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F).

Heat index

March's mean heat index is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 89%.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
