April weather forecast
Oyala, Equatorial Guinea

April sees a continuation of the existing weather paradigm, augmented further by an increase in temperature and atmospheric dampness. The moist discomfort is dissipated by rainfall reaching an astonishing 170mm (6.69") in aggregate. Observing the celestial drama of gathering clouds can be an intriguing experience for skywatchers. The month descends into darkness rather quickly, with relatively short days and dim sunshine. However, the weather's mercurial nature adds to the charm of Oyala, giving the city an ethereal glow.

Temperature

The initiation of April records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. An average nighttime temperature of 21.1°C (70°F) is witnessed throughout April.

Heat index

During April, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
