March weather forecast
Shirakol, India

The first month of the pre-monsoon summer, March, is a fiery hot month in Shirakol, India, with an average temperature varying between 35.4°C (95.7°F) and 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

March's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from February's hot 31.4°C (88.5°F) to a very hot 35.4°C (95.7°F). Shirakol notes a substantial temperature decline from the daytime peaks throughout March, with an average nighttime temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

March's average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 8 in March translates into the following recommendations:
Take the necessary steps to protect yourself; unprotected skin and eyes are vulnerable to damage. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
