Heat index

In March, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 56°C (132.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are accepted as gravely hazardous, with imminent heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
