Temperature

Forcados marks the onset of March with an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.4°C (92.1°F), subtly divergent from February's 34.4°C (93.9°F). An average low-temperature of 25.6°C (78.1°F) marks the month of March.

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: The UV index of 7 during March leads to these advisories:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
