The city begins feeling the heat in March as temperatures climb, marking the onset of the summer season in Bengaluru. The drop in relative humidity marks a clear departure from the cooler and more humid conditions of previous months.

Temperature

Bengaluru, India, commences March with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Bengaluru receives a consistent average low-temperature of 19.6°C (67.3°F) in March, a substantial dip from the day's heat.

Heat index

The heat index in March is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious. Applying and reapplying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 after every two hours, outdoor workout, or swim is recommended.
