March weather forecast
Esiẹ, Nigeria

Moving forward, March in Esiẹ observes a noticeable uptick in rainfall with an accumulation of 34mm (1.34"). Relative to February, this month showcases a shifting weather paradigm mainly driven by rainfall. The apparent humidity and cloud cover intensify, contributing to an overall dampening effect. Despite the weather changes, wind speed remains consistent with the previous month, implying a steady wind regime. Therefore, March is characterised by an increased wetness due to escalating rain statistics.

Temperature

March's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still torrid 37°C (98.6°F) from February's 37.4°C (99.3°F). A significant temperature decrease to an average a moderately hot 23.6°C (74.5°F) characterizes Esiẹ's nighttime temperatures during March.

Heat index

The heat index value for March is appraised at a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 62%.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 15.3 days. Throughout March, 34mm (1.34") of precipitation is accumulated. In Esiẹ, during the entire year, the rain falls for 220.9 days and collects up to 882mm (34.72") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In March, the average sunshine is 9.5h.

UV index

January through April, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In March, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
