Weather in March
Temperature
March and April mark Gintota's peak of temperatures, averaging a high-temperature of 30.3°C (86.5°F).Heat index
The heat index for March is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
