April weather forecast
Airolaf, Djibouti

As Airolaf transitions into April, conditions continue to heat up. The skies clear out even more, enabling higher volumes of sunshine to perpetuate the month. Interestingly, April experiences the highest atmospheric pressure, at 1009 millibar, of the year's first four months. This drop in pressure signifies the end of the relatively cooler period and the introduction of the peak heat season. Rainfall becomes even more infrequent, signaling the start of the dry phase that dominates the upcoming months.

Airolaf experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F) in April, closely aligned with March's 28.3°C (82.9°F). Airolaf's evenings during April maintain an average temperature of 25.6°C (78.1°F), aligning closely with the daytime temperatures.

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
