Temperature

The transition from February to March brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), barely different from February's 31°C (87.8°F). In March, Ndungu experiences a temperature dip to an average of 19.6°C (67.3°F) at night.

Heat index

The average heat index in March is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 70%.

Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in March interprets into the following advice:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
