April weather forecast
Randa, Djibouti

The weather in Randa, Djibouti, becomes notably hotter in April. As the town approaches the height of summer, 12.4 hours of daylight contribute to an upper limit temperature rising to 30.6°C (87.1°F) from March's 28.3°C (82.9°F). As temperatures soar, the ambient moisture levels start to decrease, leading to the beginning of the dry season. Relatively lower humidity coupled with clear skies hint at the conditions to come in the summer months. Through April's progression, it becomes clear that summer is nearing its peak.

Temperature

Welcoming April, Randa notes an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F), nearly consistent with March's 28.3°C (82.9°F). During the nights of April, Randa records an average low-temperature of 25.6°C (78.1°F), reflecting a modest decrease from daytime highs.

Heat index

April's heat index is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
