March weather forecast
Thiruvaiyaru, India

March, the first month of the pre-monsoon summer in Thiruvaiyaru, is a sweltering month, with an average temperature ranging between max 35.4°C (95.7°F) and min 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Temperature

March's arrival coincides with a marginal rise in the average high-temperature, moving from February's tropical 32.3°C (90.1°F) to a torrid 35.4°C (95.7°F). March nights bring a significant cooling from the heat of the day, with averages of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in March is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Take all necessary measures. Eyes and skin are at risk if left unprotected. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
