Heat index

The heat index value for March is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in March translates into this advice:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
