Weather in March
Temperature
The initiation of March sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), showing minor variations from the previous month. Vattappalai records a slight downturn to an average a still moderately hot 26.7°C (80.1°F) during the nights of March.Heat index
The heat index value during March is estimated at a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
