March

Weather in March

March marks the advent of a more substantial rainy season in Ouadda, a remarkable shift from the preceding months. Temperatures begin to decline slightly, signaling a shift towards the wettest months of the year. Even though the average temperature remains high at 38.4°C (101.1°F), the amount of rainfall nearly quadruples compared to February. Towards the later part of March, visibility starts to reduce due to the increase in the relative humidity and cloud cover. The increased cloudiness provides an interesting contrast to the previously clear and dry months in Ouadda.

Heat index

In March, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
