Weather in March
Temperature
March, characterized by an average high temperature of 31.1°C (88°F) and a low temperature of 19.7°C (67.5°F), is generally the warmest month.Heat index
Throughout March, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. 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.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
