Weather in March

March manifests a gradual cooling trend compared to February. The drop in temperature and humidity does little to disrupt the natural beauty of Okakarara. The landscapes undergo a subtle change, transitioning away from the lush greenery of the wetter months.

It’s worth noting that relatively clear roads make for a smoother travel experience during this period.

It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation.

Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat.
