April weather forecast
Acoc, Equatorial Guinea

April, like March, in Acoc, Equatorial Guinea, is another warm spring month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 24°C (75.2°F) and an average high of 28.6°C (83.5°F).

Temperature

With the onset of April, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 28.6°C (83.5°F), subtly different from March's 28.8°C (83.8°F). Acoc experiences a minimal drop from daytime high temperatures, recording an average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) throughout April.

Heat index

April's heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

UV index

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in April leads to these recommendations:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
