March weather forecastIbaka, Nigeria

Weather in March

The first month of the spring, March, is still a tropical month in Ibaka, Nigeria, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.5°C (88.7°F) and 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Temperature

In March, Ibaka's weather conditions record an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), demonstrating little divergence from the preceding month. In Ibaka, the March nights cool down to an average low of 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

During March, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 26.8 days. Throughout March, 135mm (5.31") of precipitation is accumulated. In Ibaka, during the entire year, the rain falls for 310.7 days and collects up to 2138mm (84.17") of precipitation.

Daylight

In March, the average length of the day is 12h and 6min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:42 and sunset at 18:44. On the last day of March, sunrise is at 06:30 and sunset at 18:40 WAT.

Sunshine

In March, the average sunshine is 8.3h.

UV index

In March, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 6 during March translates into the following guidance:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
