Temperature

The shift to March signals an average high-temperature of a hot 30.4°C (86.7°F), subtly varied from February's 29.3°C (84.7°F). In the month of March, the temperature in San Antonio generally rests at an average low of 23.9°C (75°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is estimated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity are March and April, with an average relative humidity of 73%.

UV index

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in March translates into this advice:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
