Weather in March
Temperature
Temperatures reach their maximum during February through April, recording an average high-temperature of 32.3°C (90.1°F).Heat index
During March, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. 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. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in March, converts into the following recommendations:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
