April weather forecast
San-Pedro, Ivory Coast

April weather in San-Pedro, Ivory Coast, is typified by dampness and marginally increasing temperatures. Consistent with the trends from the preceding months, the continued presence of high temperatures and a rise in humidity sets up the environment for persistent rainfall. A rapid increase in rainfall is experienced in this month, with the levels almost doubling to 115mm (4.53") from the previous month. The city's UV index maintains a constant figure as observed in the preceding months. A major characteristic of April's weather is an increased cloud cover, which likely contributes to the increase in rainfall.

With average high temperatures of 31.3°C (88.3°F) and lows of 25.8°C (78.4°F), April is the warmest month in San-Pedro.

Heat index

The average heat index in April is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
