March weather forecast
Tsevie, Togo

For Tsevie, March brings changes in weather with subtle increases in temperature and rainfall. A further increase in wind speed to 16.7km/h (10.4mph) marks this month different from February. The continuity of higher humidity endorses the moist nature of the atmosphere. Interestingly, the number of sunshine days reduces, giving way to more cloud cover. Despite the varying conditions, visibility remains clear at 10km (6.2mi) throughout.

Temperature

The warmest months are February through April, with an average high-temperature of 32.3°C (90.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index in March is estimated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 74%.

Rainfall

In Tsevie, during March, the rain falls for 19.1 days and regularly aggregates up to 28mm (1.1") of precipitation. In Tsevie, during the entire year, the rain falls for 236.4 days and collects up to 692mm (27.24") of precipitation.

UV index

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in March translates into this advice:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
