Heat index

The heat index value for March is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. 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 primarily vital for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
