Weather in March
Temperature
With the onset of March, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 27.5°C (81.5°F), subtly different from February's 26°C (78.8°F). During the month of March, Norwood's nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 16.2°C (61.2°F).Heat index
The heat index value for March is evaluated at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.

February through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In March, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
