Weather in April

April, like March, in Kamala, Ivory Coast, is a very hot spring month, with an average temperature varying between 35.8°C (96.4°F) and 23.3°C (73.9°F).

At the onset of April, Kamala records an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35.8°C (96.4°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Kamala, amidst the high April temperatures, experiences a substantial shift to an average nighttime low of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

April's heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 66%.

Rainfall

In Kamala, in April, during 18.3 rainfall days, 86mm (3.39") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 187.2 rainfall days, and 811mm (31.93") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in April translates into the following recommendations:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
