April weather forecast
Gueckedou, Guinea

Seamlessly transitioning to April, Gueckedou's weather keeps its warming trend while becoming more humid. Rainfall becomes a regular occurrence, and it offers a comforting consistency against the rising temperature. The increased cloud cover attributes to a dip in daylight hours. While it's a wetter month with 78mm (3.07") of rainfall, events that do not require splendid weather are ideal. However, the gentle wind conditions persist, offering a reprieve from the moisture-heavy atmosphere.

Heat index

During April, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
