Temperature

In March, Houailou experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 27.5°C (81.5°F) in February to a still warm 27.1°C (80.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is estimated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
