March weather forecast
Luénoufla, Ivory Coast

March, the first month of the spring in Luénoufla, is still a very hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 35.6°C (96.1°F) and min 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

The onset of March manifests an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35.6°C (96.1°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Despite a significant deviation from daily highs, March sees an average nighttime temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

In March, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

UV index

Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in March translates into the following recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
