April weather forecast
Aconekién, Equatorial Guinea

April demonstrates a tangible escalation in Aconekién's rainfall rates, marking the height of the wet season. The temperatures remain relatively stable, which, coupled with the consistent UV index, provides a level of predictability for residents. Despite the high humidity and increased cloud cover, life carries on as usual in this tropical paradise. The wind speeds are quite subdued, allowing the damp and humid air to linger. April's record precipitation, reaching 170mm (6.69"), further accentuates this month as a period of significant rainfall.

Temperature

As April takes hold, the average high-temperature is a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), nearly mirroring that of the previous month. Aconekién's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 21.1°C (70°F) during the nights of April.

Heat index

April's average heat index is computed to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

UV index

January through May and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 6 during April leads to these advisories:
Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
