Temperature

The transition from February to March sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still sweltering 37.6°C (99.7°F), from a not significantly different 38.1°C (100.6°F). Idah's nighttime temperature in March drops to an average of 26.2°C (79.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for March is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 8 translates into these guidelines:
Take extra precautions. Protection against sun damage is required. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
