April, like March, in Zungeru, Nigeria, is another sweltering spring month, with an average temperature varying between 39.3°C (102.7°F) and 26.4°C (79.5°F).

Temperature

Zungeru experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a very hot 39.3°C (102.7°F) with the onset of April, maintaining near parity with March's 40.8°C (105.4°F). Zungeru reports a significant contrast between daytime and nighttime temperatures, with an average low of 26.4°C (79.5°F) in April.

Heat index

The heat index in April is calculated to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Immediate care is essential; skin and eyes can be harmed in no time without it. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
