Heat index

The heat index for March is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Ensure you're always protected. Unprotected skin can get damaged in moments. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
