Heat index

March's heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
