March weather forecast
Haba, Togo

March brings in higher humidity percentages, making it potentially more uncomfortable compared to previous months. High temperatures still prevail, but there's a considerable increase in rainfall with up to 22mm (0.87") being recorded. Despite this, a lot of sunlight infiltrates through the clouds ensuring that the weather remains relatively warm. Towards the end of the month, there's an increase in rainfall days hinting at the onset of the rainy season and prompting the need for rain gear.

March, recording an average high temperature of 38.8°C (101.8°F) and a low temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F), is Haba's warmest month.

Heat index

March's average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
