Weather in April

April, like March, is another tropical autumn month in Lukolela, Democratic Republic of Congo, with an average temperature varying between 22.8°C (73°F) and 31.9°C (89.4°F).

Temperature

With the start of April, Lukolela measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F), not significantly differing from March's 32.3°C (90.1°F). In Lukolela, an average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) is recorded during April nights.

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

In April, the average relative humidity is 77%.
