Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

The average relative humidity in March is 70%.

Note: The UV index of 7 during March translates into the following guidance:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
