Weather in March
Temperature
At the start of March, Metro's average high-temperature reaches a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), subtly different from the preceding month. Throughout March, the temperature falls to an average low of 23.2°C (73.8°F).Heat index
During March, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
