Sonipat, is a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 16°C (60.8°F) and 30°C (86°F).
Temperature
The onset of March brings a temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from a warm 24°C (75.2°F) in
February to a hot 30°C (86°F). During March, Sonipat detects a significant contrast from its daytime temperatures, with nights averaging at a refreshing 16°C (60.8°F).
Heat index
The heat index value during March is evaluated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
