Temperature

March's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from February's hot 31.9°C (89.4°F) to a torrid 35.4°C (95.7°F). The month of March sees a significant daily temperature drop, recording an average low-temperature of 22°C (71.6°F).

Heat index

March's mean heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree 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 are essentially critical for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
