Temperature

The ushering in of March brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.3°C (90.1°F), closely mirroring the 32.3°C (90.1°F) of February. An average low-temperature of 27°C (80.6°F) is observed during the March nights.

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
