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.

Temperature

The transition into April is marked with an average high-temperature of a warm 29.7°C (85.5°F), showing an insignificant shift from March's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Throughout April, Mitzic's nights cool down to an average of 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Heat index

In April, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity are February through April, with an average relative humidity of 81%.
