Weather in March
Temperature
March, characterized by an average high temperature of 29°C (84.2°F) and a low temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F), is generally the coldest month.Heat index
The average heat index in March is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

The months with the lowest UV index are January, March, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in March leads to these recommendations:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
