Weather in March
Temperature
The advent of March observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.8°C (91°F), nearly identical to February's 30°C (86°F). Alinjivakkam observes an average low-temperature of 24.6°C (76.3°F) during March.Heat index
In March, the average heat index is estimated at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
