Temperature

A gentle upsurge in temperatures occurs as February gives way to March, with average highs shifting from a hot 30.8°C (87.4°F) to a very hot 35.8°C (96.4°F). Nightly readings in March display a noticeable downturn from daily highs, with the average low-temperature registering a pleasant 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for March is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 8 in March leads to these recommendations:
Ensure you act responsibly. Without precautions, skin and eyes can suffer. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
