Weather in March
Temperature
The arrival of March marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.5°C (81.5°F) from February's 26°C (78.8°F). The average low-temperature of 16.2°C (61.2°F) is witnessed during March.Heat index
March's mean heat index is calculated to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
