Weather in March
Temperature
February and March bring Kigala's highest average temperatures, reaching a high of 30.8°C (87.4°F).Heat index
The heat index value during March is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
