Weather in March

Heat index

March's mean heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
