Heat index

In March, the average heat index is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 76%.
