April, like March, in Guinrerou, Benin, is another sweltering spring month, with an average temperature ranging between min 24.8°C (76.6°F) and max 37.8°C (100°F).

Temperature

The arrival of April brings an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37.8°C (100°F), closely following the temperature pattern of March. Guinrerou sees a consistent average low-temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) in April, indicating a substantial decrease from the day's temperature.

Heat index

April's heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 50°C (122°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Ensure you're protected; unprotected eyes and skin can get hurt in moments. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
