Weather in April

In April, Mbouda's weather takes a somber turn as it experiences the onset of its rainiest period with considerable rainfall of 153mm (6.02"). Reflecting the gloomy climate, sunlight hours decrease further, and the city encounters near-total cloud cover. The humidity incurs a significant hike, almost touching 80%. This heavy precipitation phase reduces the chance of outdoor activities, and a slight drop in the temperature contributes to the chill.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity.
