April weather forecast
Taha, Ghana

April, like March, in Taha, Ghana, is another fiery hot spring month, with an average temperature varying between 28.2°C (82.8°F) and 38.8°C (101.8°F).

Temperature

Taha experiences a transition to a still very hot 38.8°C (101.8°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of April, not greatly differing from March's 39.6°C (103.3°F). In April, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 28.2°C (82.8°F).

Heat index

April's mean heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 44%.

UV index

February through May and November, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In April, the maximum UV index of 8 translates into these guidelines:
Don't neglect protection; skin and eyes can be burned swiftly if left exposed. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
