April weather forecast
Winisosechikrom, Ghana

April, like March, in Winisosechikrom, Ghana, is another fiery hot spring month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 35.1°C (95.2°F) and 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

April denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still very hot 35.1°C (95.2°F) from March's 35.8°C (96.4°F). The anticipated average low-temperature for April, a pleasant 22.8°C (73°F), shows a substantial deviation from the daytime maximums.

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are seen as incredibly dangerous, heatstroke is imminent.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through 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. 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 77%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during April, leads to the following recommendations:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
