April weather forecast
Kayunga, Uganda

The rainy season amplifies in April with a record rainfall level of 98mm (3.86") spread across nearly 24.8 days, making it the wettest month of the year. Coupled with the greater frequency of rainfall is an amplified percentage of relative humidity. The temperatures experience a dip compared to March, settling at a cooler average. April's daylight hours remain static, and steady cloud cover reduces the amount of direct sunlight. These conditions contribute to April’s wet and slightly cooler image.

Temperature

Kayunga's progression into April involves a minor drop in the average high-temperature, slightly receding from a hot 32.1°C (89.8°F) in March to a moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F). Nighttime temperatures in April average to a comfortable 17.4°C (63.3°F).

Heat index

During April, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', 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. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 81%.
