Tsivory, Madagascar

The first month of the autumn, March, is still a hot month in Tsivory, Madagascar, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30.1°C (86.2°F) and 22.9°C (73.2°F).

Temperature

Tsivory's shift from February to March is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.1°C (86.2°F), a slight deviation from 30.6°C (87.1°F). Throughout March, Tsivory records an average temperature of 22.9°C (73.2°F) at night.

Heat index

March's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Humidity

March is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 74%.

UV index

January through March and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In March, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
