Heat index

The heat index value for March is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
