The first month of the autumn, March, is still a tropical month in Bongonde, Democratic Republic of Congo, with an average temperature varying between 22.3°C (72.1°F) and 33.6°C (92.5°F).

Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
