Temperature

The commencement of March sees a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a hot 30.4°C (86.7°F) in February to a fiery hot 35.3°C (95.5°F). Despite considerable daily temperature swings, a steady low-temperature average of 21.6°C (70.9°F) is noted throughout March.

Heat index

The heat index in March is calculated to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In Dignagar, the average relative humidity in March is 41%.

UV index

Note: In March, the average maximum UV index of 8 translates into the following recommendations:
Always take safety measures. The skin and eyes are at risk if left exposed. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
