The transition into March marks the average high-temperature at a still fiery hot 38.9°C (102°F), differing minimally from February's 39°C (102.2°F). From the height of daytime heat, the temperature recedes to an average of 25.8°C (78.4°F) at night during March.

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 53%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through March, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In March, a daily maximum UV index of 8 leads to the following instructions:
Always be careful, as unprotected skin and eyes might burn in no time. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
