March weather forecast
Baruipur, India

The first month of the pre-monsoon summer, March, is a fiery hot month in Baruipur, India, with an average temperature ranging between max 35.4°C (95.7°F) and min 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

The shift into March is characterized by a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from February's tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F) to a sweltering 35.4°C (95.7°F). Despite considerable daily temperature swings, a steady low-temperature average of 22.8°C (73°F) is noted throughout March.

Heat index

March's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Always remain cautious. Unprotected skin and eyes are prone to swift harm. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
