April weather forecast
Mitzic, Gabon

April continues the trend of the previous month with high rainfall levels, reaching 185mm (7.28"). The tropical climate keeps temperatures and humidity pretty steady in this period, not deviating much from the preceding months. However, April, to some extent, represents a tipping point when the trend in increasing rainfall takes a halt and signals the gradual transition towards a slightly drier season. Though May might bring more rainfall, the rates might not be as impressive as in April. Constant humid and warm weather add to the city's tropical weather characteristics seen in April.

Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
