Weather in March
Temperature
The beginning of March reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.5°C (92.3°F), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. Bafwasende's nights during March are marked by a pronounced drop from daytime temperatures, experiencing an average low of 20.6°C (69.1°F).Heat index
In March, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
