March's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), diverging marginally from February's 29.3°C (84.7°F). Nights in March showcase an average temperature of 25.1°C (77.2°F), slightly cooler than the daytime.

Heat index

The heat index in March is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. 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 hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
