April weather forecast
Mali

April in Mali sees a continuation of the hot season, with temperatures often reaching their yearly peak. The southern parts of the country, including cities such as Bamako and Kayes, experience average temperatures around 35°C (95°F). However, in the arid northern regions, closer to the Sahara, temperatures can climb up to an intense 40°C (104°F). Timbuktu, located in the northern part of the country, often sees such extreme heat in April.

Despite the high temperatures, rainfall remains a rarity in April. The country continues to be under the influence of the dry season, with the Harmattan wind from the Sahara now largely diminished. The transition from dusty conditions to clear skies is a noticeable shift during this month.

When compared to the weather in March, April brings marginally higher temperatures, solidifying its position in the hot season. However, this will begin to change in the coming months as Mali prepares to welcome the onset of the rainy season. While April's extreme heat may pose a challenge for some, those equipped to handle high temperatures will still find opportunities to explore the unique landscapes and cultural richness of the country.
