March weather forecast
Monrovia, Liberia

In Monrovia, March kicks off a phase of increased rainfall, an upward trend that persists until June. Examining the data exposes March as one of the months with substantial rainfall, recording 69mm (2.72"). The city adopts a damp atmosphere with a concurrent rise in humidity. A fluctuation in wind speed is barely noticeable. As the city moves towards April, the weather displays a clear inclination towards more enhanced rainfall.

Temperature

With March's arrival, Monrovia notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.7°C (85.5°F), maintaining the same temperature as the preceding month. Nights in March showcase an average temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F), slightly cooler than the daytime.

Heat index

March's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 81%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 during March translates into the following directions:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. 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. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Warning! Sand and water reflections boost the intensity of UV exposure.
