March weather forecast
Suakoko, Liberia

The herald of the wet season, March, marks a sharp departure from the previous month. The city of Suakoko experiences a sizable increase in rainfall, humidity, and cloud coverage. An apparent decrease in sunlight hours coupled with increased cloud cover contributes to a reduction in the daylight hours. Even daily temperature recordings depict a variance to the warm side from 21°C (69.8°F) to 34.2°C (93.6°F). The windy conditions, however, provide a reprieve from the otherwise damp and sultry weather.

Temperature

March's advent in Suakoko denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 34.2°C (93.6°F) from February's 34.7°C (94.5°F). Suakoko's March nights see a large temperature deviation, with temperatures resting at a low of 21°C (69.8°F).

Heat index

During March, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
