March weather forecast
Ouesso, Congo

Compared to February, March in Ouesso, Congo, is expected to bring more rainfall with a relative increase in humidity. A similar temperature trend is anticipated, maintaining the thriving, humid conditions. The increase in rainfall might obscure the sun, decreasing daytime sunshine hours. Consequently, March can witness a lesser number of sunlit days, thereby intensifying the tropical feel. Thus, March proves ideal for those who relish the rain-soaked landscapes and the vibrant biodiversity of the region.

Temperature

Ouesso experiences an average high-temperature of a hot 34.8°C (94.6°F) in March, marking an insignificant shift from 35.3°C (95.5°F) in February. The temperature in Ouesso notes a substantial fall from the daily peak to an average of 22.3°C (72.1°F) during March nights.

Heat index

In March, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
