Transitioning from February to March, Boffa undergoes a modest increase in average temperatures. The most noteworthy shift of March from the preceding months lies in its rainfall. With 5mm (0.2") of rain spread across four days, the month of March shows the advent of the rainy season, a distinct transition from the previously drier months. This ushers in a different experience, interweaving warm tropical days with mild showers. The increased cloud cover also contributes to a slight decrease in sunshine hours.

Temperature

Boffa, Guinea, experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F) in March, marking an insignificant shift from 31°C (87.8°F) in February. March is noted for a mean low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

During March, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

In Boffa, the average relative humidity in March is 69%.

Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
