March weather forecast
Burutu, Nigeria

The month of March in Burutu is the cusp where the weather morphs from warm to significantly warmer. Hence, inhabitants start to experience a slight increase in heat and humidity, making the overall ambience slightly uncomfortable. One of the notable changes is the high average rainfall of 103mm (4.06"). While the rainy days start increasing the amount of sunshine dwindles, plunging to an average of 7.8 hours daily. The sea temperatures continue their steady ascent, echoing the changing weather patterns on land.

Temperature

The average high-temperature in March, at a still hot 33.4°C (92.1°F), reveals a modest deviation from February's 34.4°C (93.9°F). Throughout March, the temperature falls to an average low of 25.6°C (78.1°F).

Heat index

For March, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in March transforms into the following instructions:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim. Beware! The strength of the UV rays is significantly increased by the reflection of the water and sand.
