March weather forecast
Idoani, Nigeria

The first month of the spring, March, is still a very hot month in Idoani, Nigeria, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23.7°C (74.7°F) and 35.9°C (96.6°F).

Temperature

The advent of March brings an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.9°C (96.6°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Despite the intense daytime heat, Idoani sustains a steady low-temperature average of 23.7°C (74.7°F) during March.

Heat index

The heat index value during March is computed to be a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
