April weather forecast
Ayame, Ivory Coast

April in Ayame sees an ongoing rainy season that closely resembles the weather pattern observed in March. Maintaining a high level of precipitation, rainfall remains steady at 70mm (2.76") in April as well. This period does not differ significantly from March when assessing the visibility, UV index, and cloud coverage. The continuity in rainfall and temperature found from March to April provides a consistency in the weather conditions. As such, despite the continuous rain, April carries its own charm with warm temperatures amidst rainy weather.

Temperature

With the start of April, Ayame measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), not significantly differing from March's 31.2°C (88.2°F). An average temperature of 25.9°C (78.6°F) marks the nights in April.

Heat index

The heat index for April is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to 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 value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

UV index

January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in April translates into the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
