Weather in March

The onset of March brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29°C (84.2°F), nearly matching the February temperature. Throughout March, Vakuta records a steady low-temperature average of 25.4°C (77.7°F), a minor decrease from its daytime counterpart.Heat index
Throughout March, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. 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. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
