Heat index

In March, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during March translates into the following recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
