March weather forecast
Mobaye, Central African Republic

Weather patterns begin to shift noticeably in March, earmarking transitional weather in Mobaye. A marked increase in rainfall, three times higher than February, confirms the onset of the wet season. Curiously, temperatures remain relatively high, contributing to steamy conditions. The cloud cover increases significantly, casting a veil over the sun's rays more frequently. Further to this, the average visibility begins to drop slightly, often as a result of airborne moisture and heavier rain showers.

Temperature

March's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F), showing a minute difference from February's 38.1°C (100.6°F). Nightly average temperatures in March reveal a significant dip from daytime highs, registering a consistent a moderately hot 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is estimated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 51%.

Note: In March, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
