The onset of March notes an average high-temperature of a still very hot 36.3°C (97.3°F), subtly shifted from February's 36.7°C (98.1°F). Throughout March, Kikro notes a dramatic plunge from the daily high to an average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes.

Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
