Weather in March

March, the first month of the pre-monsoon summer in Hosur, is still a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 19.8°C (67.6°F) and 33°C (91.4°F).

Temperature

The arrival of March is marked by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33°C (91.4°F), bearing a close resemblance to February. Hosur's average low-temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F) in March reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.

Heat index

For March, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity are March and April, with an average relative humidity of 47%.

UV index

March through June, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In March, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
