April weather forecast
wamba, Democratic Republic of Congo

April, the same as March, in wamba, Democratic Republic of Congo, is another hot spring month, with an average temperature varying between 19.8°C (67.6°F) and 31.8°C (89.2°F).

Temperature

An average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F) marks April, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in March. Contrasted against daytime highs, wamba records an average nighttime low of 19.8°C (67.6°F) in April.

Heat index

April's heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
