March in
Aden,
Yemen, is a notable month, highlighted by a marked increase in warmth from 28.6°C (83.5°F) to 30.2°C (86.4°F). This stage within the transitional season, however, retains slight coolness during the evenings. Relative humidity lives on the higher side, ascribing to an overall bit of clamminess to the weather. Nonetheless, rainfall continues on a downward trend, indicating fair weather days. Greater sunlight hours paired with pleasant sea temperatures play catalyst to outdoor excursions.
Temperature
The average high-temperature during March registers at a tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F), closely corresponding to the preceding month. March sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 24°C (75.2°F).
Heat index
March's average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

UV index
February through
September, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an extreme threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In March, a regular UV index of 12 translates into these guidelines:
Enforce every vital precaution. Those with light skin could endure burns in a matter of minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Even on a cloudy day, a sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF should be applied generously and frequently reapplied, including after a swim or outdoor exercise. Stay vigilant! UV rays get a boost in intensity due to sand and water reflections.
