Heat index
The heat index value during March is estimated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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 vital to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.

Always prioritize safety measures. Rapid harm can befall unprotected skin and eyes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation. Avoid staying out in the Sun for too long, particularly if you're burn-prone. Always protect your skin with a 30 SPF sunscreen. Watch out! Reflections from sand and water can surge UV radiation exposure.
