Heat index

The heat index for March is computed to be a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
