Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 57°C (134.6°F). Warning: These weather conditions are classified as extremely treacherous, and heatstroke is inevitable.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

The average relative humidity in March is 75%.
