March weather forecast
Dimbokro, Ivory Coast

March, commonly being a pivotal month marking the transition between two distinctive weather phases in Dimbokro, witnesses substantial growth in rainfall quantity. Infering from the supplied data, varying from relative humidity of 69% to a rainfall amount of 98mm (3.86"), the city experiences significant wet conditions. Along with this, the onset of heightened cloud percentage is perceivable indicating lesser sunlight canalization. However, wind speed does not deviate drastically from the previous months, nearly maintaining the equivalent course. Remarkably, the presence of frequent cloudy days, veiling the sun substantially, contributes to the damp weather conditions prevalent in this month.

Temperature

The dawn of March sees an average high-temperature of a still torrid 36.8°C (98.2°F), subtly contrasting with February's 37.3°C (99.1°F). A striking departure from daytime highs to an average low-temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F) is witnessed during March.

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 57°C (134.6°F). Warning: These weather conditions are held as exceedingly treacherous, as heatstroke is a clear threat.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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 prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
