April weather forecast
Kissidougou, Guinea

In April, the Kissidougou weather continues to trend towards the warmer side, resulting in a high evaporation rate. Solidifying its monsoon credentials, the city sees increased cloud cover, leading to more rainfall and dampened sunshine. Despite the rise in rainfall, the consistent strength of the winds helps disperse the rainfall, reducing the likelihood of flooding. Remarkably, April tops the UV Index readings for the year, hitting a six on the scale. As the climate leans towards the extreme, the need for sun protection becomes a crucial element of weather preparedness.

Temperature

With April's arrival, Kissidougou, Guinea, notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.7°C (92.7°F), closely following the trend of the preceding month. Kissidougou's April nights see a large temperature deviation, with temperatures resting at a low of 20.5°C (68.9°F).

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb 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. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 75%.
