Temperature

In Alugolla, the highest average temperatures are observed in March, with a high of 31.5°C (88.7°F) and a low of 19.2°C (66.6°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in March is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
