Heat index

The heat index value for March is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. 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.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
