Weather in March
Temperature
March, on average, is the warmest month, registering a high temperature of 31.1°C (88°F) and a low of 19.7°C (67.5°F).Heat index
The average heat index in March is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
