April weather forecast
Sierra Leone

April in Sierra Leone marks a noticeable shift in the climate as the country moves further into the transitional phase leading to the wet season. Rainfall levels rise significantly compared to March, with average precipitation levels typically ranging between 60mm (2.36") and 90mm (3.54"). Despite this increase, showers are often brief and concentrated in the late afternoon or evening, thereby minimally impacting daytime activities.

Temperatures in April continue to range from 25°C (77°F) to 34°C (93.2°F), maintaining the consistently warm climate that characterizes Sierra Leone. Freetown and other coastal regions experience similar temperatures, with the added advantage of a cooling sea breeze. The central and eastern regions continue to enjoy warm days and slightly cooler nights due to their higher altitudes.

Compared to the preceding month of March, April presents a noticeable increase in rainfall. However, these levels are still lower than what can be expected in the impending peak rainy season, which begins in May. Despite the rise in precipitation, the increased humidity and rainfall contribute to a resurgence in the country's flora, adding to the natural beauty of the landscapes.

Although April sees the escalation of the wet season, it still presents a window for visitors to explore Sierra Leone before the onset of the heavier rains. The weather remains warm, and while rainfall is increasing, there is still ample opportunity to enjoy the country's outdoor attractions and experience the start of the vibrant green season.
