Temperature

Mvagui transitions into March recording an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.6°C (90.7°F), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. During March, an average low-temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F) is observed.

Heat index

The average heat index in March is estimated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 74%.

Rainfall

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In March, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
