April weather forecast
Burkina Faso

In April, Burkina Faso's hot season reaches its peak, bringing temperatures that can become extremely high. Cities like Ouagadougou, Garghin, and Tabtenga typically experience average temperatures between 26°C (78.8°F) at night and an intense 43°C (109.4°F) during the day. It's worth noting that these figures represent averages, and actual temperatures can occasionally go even higher, making April the hottest month of the year in Burkina Faso.

Compared to March, April sees a further increase in heat, and this surge in temperature persists throughout the day with little relief even after sunset. Outdoor activities can become strenuous during this period due to the extreme heat, and adequate precautions are necessary to prevent heat-related health issues.

Rainfall remains scarce in April, as the dry season continues. The landscape across the country can appear parched and barren due to the lack of precipitation and the intense heat. However, towards the end of the month, there might be signs of change as the country edges closer to the rainy season. The Harmattan wind, prominent in the earlier months, is nearly absent in April, resulting in clearer skies but also allowing more direct sunlight, which contributes to the scorching temperatures.

In comparison to the upcoming month, May, April is generally hotter and drier. May sees a gradual decrease in temperature and marks the beginning of the rainy season, offering some relief from the searing heat and dry conditions that characterize April.
