Temperature
Dammam experiences a temperature shift with the start of March, with average high-temperatures moving from a moderately hot 23.9°C (75°F) in February to a still warm 29.2°C (84.6°F). During March, the nighttime temperature presents a clear descent from the daily peaks, falling to an average of 14.6°C (58.3°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in March is appraised at 29°C (84.2°F). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
