March weather forecast
Zemio, Central African Republic

Transitioning into March, the climate in Zemio takes a turn as the rain season begins to ramp up. Compared to the previous month, March shows a significant increase in average rainfall, jumping from 9mm (0.35") to 44mm (1.73"). However, the temperatures maintain consistency, creating a humid and warm environment. As we move into the cloudier months of the year, sunshine hours decrease, and the UV index maintains a steady rating of 7.

Temperature

Zemio's weather in March, with an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 35.8°C (96.4°F), subtly shifts from February's 37.1°C (98.8°F). A noteworthy thermal contrast characterizes Zemio's March nights, with temperatures averaging at a pleasant 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

UV index

January through April, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In March, an average UV index of 7 transforms into the following instructions:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
