April weather forecast
Misseni, Mali

April, the same as March, is another torrid spring month in Misseni, Mali, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.2°C (77.4°F) and an average high of 37°C (98.6°F).

Temperature

April reports an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37°C (98.6°F), slightly varied from March's 37.4°C (99.3°F). The average nighttime temperature lowers to a moderately hot 25.2°C (77.4°F) throughout April.

Heat index

April's average heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
