Temperature

The transition from February to March sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a tropical 34.8°C (94.6°F), from a not significantly different 35.4°C (95.7°F). Kripayo experiences a steady low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) throughout March.

Heat index

During March, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
