Heat index

March's mean heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative.

Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
