Weather in March
Temperature
The arrival of March marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F) from February's 29.2°C (84.6°F). The average low-temperature, in March, is an agreeable 22°C (71.6°F).Heat index
For most parts of March, the heat index is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
