Heat index

For March, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
