Heat index

The heat index value during March is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 58%.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 4 days. Throughout March, 7mm (0.28") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 71.6 rainfall days, and 148mm (5.83") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

In March, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
