Weather in March
Temperature
Banjul observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F) in March, barely different from 29.2°C (84.6°F) in February. In March, the average low-temperature records at an agreeable 22°C (71.6°F) during the nights.Heat index
March's average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
