April weather forecast
Malima, Congo

April, the same as March, is a moderately hot autumn month in Malima, Congo, with an average temperature fluctuating between 21.3°C (70.3°F) and 29.3°C (84.7°F).

Temperature

Malima's shift from March to April is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), a slight deviation from 29.8°C (85.6°F). Malima sees an average low-temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F) during April.

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

In Malima, the average relative humidity in April is 89%.

UV index

January through September and November, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In April, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
