April weather forecast
Nabalé, Burkina Faso

April, like March, in Nabalé, Burkina Faso, is another sweltering spring month, with an average temperature ranging between max 39.3°C (102.7°F) and min 27.1°C (80.8°F).

Temperature

With the start of April, Nabalé measures an average high-temperature of a still very hot 39.3°C (102.7°F), not significantly differing from March's 39.7°C (103.5°F). From the height of daytime heat, the temperature recedes to an average of 27.1°C (80.8°F) at night during April.

Heat index

During April, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 41%.

Rainfall

In Nabalé, during April, the rain falls for 10.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 28mm (1.1") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 129.4 rainfall days, and 491mm (19.33") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Nabalé are February through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in April interprets into the following advice:
It is essential to prioritize protection. Unprotected skin and eyes can suffer rapid harm. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
