Weather in April

April in Abuja, Nigeria, marks a shift in weather patterns. Relative humidity increases further, and rainfall becomes more frequent.

Despite the less favorable visibility, the enchanting city's vibrant culture continues to charm its inhabitants and visitors alike.

Temperature

Abuja registers an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37.9°C (100.2°F) with the arrival of April, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. Despite drastic daytime highs, Abuja logs an average low-temperature reading of 25.8°C (78.4°F) throughout April.

Heat index

April's mean heat index is computed to be a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. 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 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 52%.
