The first month of the spring, March, is also a fiery hot month in Duokro, Ivory Coast, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.7°C (74.7°F) and max 36.3°C (97.3°F).

The arrival of March marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 36.3°C (97.3°F) from February's 36.7°C (98.1°F). In Duokro, following the steep rise of daytime temperatures, an average nighttime low of 23.7°C (74.7°F) is anticipated during March.

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

The average relative humidity in March is 67%.
