Heat index

March's average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 particular significance for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
