In the heart of Nigeria, March marks the start of a transition period with weather patterns subtly shifting towards the wet season. Following the intense high temperatures of the previous months, the mercury comfortably settles around the mark of 36.1°C in March.

Heat index

The heat index in March is evaluated at a blazing hot 55°C. Warning: These weather conditions are treated as highly risky, with approaching heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 extremely significant for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
