Temperature

The arrival of March marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a hot 34.4°C (93.9°F) from February's 35.2°C (95.4°F). Mandjou reports a steady low-temperature average of 22.1°C (71.8°F) throughout March, revealing a large deviation from the daytime high.

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 60%.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 16.6 days. Throughout March, 48mm (1.89") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 224.1 rainfall days, and 1117mm (43.98") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
