Temperature

March, recording an average high temperature of 32.1°C (89.8°F) and a low temperature of 22.2°C (72°F), is Fera's warmest month.

Heat index

March's average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 extremely vital to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity in Fera is 86%.

UV index

March is the month with the highest UV index, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In March, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
