Temperature

The advent of March denotes an average high-temperature of a hot 34.1°C (93.4°F), subtly different from February's 35.4°C (95.7°F). March sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 25°C (77°F).

Heat index

The heat index in March is evaluated at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
