Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in March suggests the following recommendations:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
