Tchito, Benin

Temperature

Tchito, Benin, marks the start of April with an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 36.3°C (97.3°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from March's 37.2°C (99°F). Throughout the month of April, Tchito expects an average low of 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Heat index

April's heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 54°C (129.2°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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 human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity.

Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
