Agona, Ghana

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are classified as overly treacherous, heatstroke is approaching.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 73%.

Rainfall

In Agona, during March, the rain falls for 24.6 days and regularly aggregates up to 96mm (3.78") of precipitation. In Agona, during the entire year, the rain falls for 265.7 days and collects up to 1056mm (41.57") of precipitation.

UV index

January through April, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in March translates into the following recommendations:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
