Weather in March
Temperature
With its high average temperature of 31.5°C (88.7°F) and a low of 18.9°C (66°F), March is regarded as the warmest month.Heat index
The heat index for March is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. 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 highly important for children. 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
