Borotou, Ivory Coast

April, like March, in Borotou, Ivory Coast, is a very hot spring month, with an average temperature varying between 23.9°C (75°F) and 37.4°C (99.3°F).

Temperature

April denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still torrid 37.4°C (99.3°F) from March's 37.5°C (99.5°F). The nighttime temperature during April displays a significant divergence from daily peaks, averaging at a moderately hot 23.9°C (75°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in April is estimated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Skin and eyes are vulnerable without protection. Ensure you always take precautions. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
