Weather in March

Entering March, Tempe's average high-temperature reads a still warm 27.6°C (81.7°F), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. Tempe's nighttime average of 14.9°C (58.8°F) during March reflects a substantial decrease from the daytime temperature.Heat index
The heat index value during March is calculated to be 28°C (82.4°F). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
