Weather in March

March, the first month of the pre-monsoon summer in Nayagram, is a sweltering month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.3°C (72.1°F) and 36.5°C (97.7°F).

Temperature

The arrival of March signals an increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a hot 31.5°C (88.7°F) in February to a very hot 36.5°C (97.7°F). A noticeable downturn in temperature characterizes the March nights, averaging at an agreeable 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 45%.

UV index

March through June, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in March interprets into the following advice:
Always take safety measures. The skin and eyes are at risk if left exposed. 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. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
