March weather forecast
Acoc, Equatorial Guinea

The first month of the spring, March, is also a moderately hot month in Acoc, Equatorial Guinea, with an average temperature ranging between max 28.8°C (83.8°F) and min 24.2°C (75.6°F).

Temperature

March is the warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 28.8°C (83.8°F) and an average low-temperature of 24.2°C (75.6°F).

Heat index

In March, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity are January through March, with an average relative humidity of 84%.

UV index

January through April, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In March, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
