March weather forecast
Mobaye, Central African Republic

Weather patterns begin to shift noticeably in March, earmarking transitional weather in Mobaye. A marked increase in rainfall, three times higher than February, confirms the onset of the wet season. Curiously, temperatures remain relatively high, contributing to steamy conditions. The cloud cover increases significantly, casting a veil over the sun's rays more frequently. Further to this, the average visibility begins to drop slightly, often as a result of airborne moisture and heavier rain showers.

Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
