Ibu records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.1°C (84.4°F) in March, maintaining a close correlation with February's 29°C (84.2°F). A consistent average low-temperature of 25.4°C (77.7°F), with a minor variance from the daytime highs, is noted during the nights of March.

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

January through March, with an average relative humidity of 80%, are the most humid months.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. 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. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
