Weather in March
Temperature
The height of temperatures is seen during March and April, averaging a high-temperature of 30.3°C (86.5°F).Heat index
March's heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Sunshine

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, June through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. 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. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
