Weather in March
Temperature
March temperatures tend to peak at an average high of 31.1°C (88°F) and dip to a low of 19.7°C (67.5°F).Heat index
March's heat index is computed to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
