Temperature

The month of March sees the highest average temperatures, reaching 38.8°C (101.8°F) at the peak and 24.1°C (75.4°F) at the low.

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

UV index

Note: The UV index of 8 during March translates into the following guidance:
Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
