March weather forecast
Mbinda, Congo

March sees the commencement of the eminently rainy period in Mbinda, with the weather becoming more damp and overcast. Higher rainfall amounts and increased cloud coverage periodically shield the city from the otherwise sizzling tropical sun. The fluctuation between the warm sunny intervals and cloudy, damp spells characterizes the weather dynamics predominant this month. During March, the city experiences a significant uptick in rainfall, with an impressive 121mm (4.76"). Despite the frequent bouts of rain, the exploration of Mbinda’s diverse ecosystems spanning pristine rainforests, rivers, and savannahs goes uninterrupted.

Temperature

March in Mbinda reports an average high-temperature of a still hot 32°C (89.6°F), slightly varied from February's 32.1°C (89.8°F). An average nighttime temperature of 21.6°C (70.9°F) is witnessed throughout March.

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity in Mbinda is 83%.

UV index

In March, the average daily maximum UV index in Mbinda is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during March translates into the following recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
