The average heat index in March is estimated at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable.

Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
