Heat index

For March, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

UV index

Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
