April weather forecast
Mauritania

April in Mauritania represents the progression of spring and is characterized by a marked increase in temperature. This transition towards the scorching summer months becomes more apparent as the days grow hotter.

In the capital city Nouakchott, average temperatures for April fluctuate from 19°C (66.2°F) to 33°C (91.4°F), providing relatively moderate conditions due to the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Atar, located within the interior desert region, witnesses more dramatic swings in temperature during this month, with lows near 20°C (68°F) and peak daytime highs that can reach a sizzling 38°C (100.4°F).

Despite the rising temperatures, April, like the preceding months, continues to see little to no rainfall across the country. Both the desert regions in the north and the Sahelian zone in the south remain dry, with the anticipated rainy season still a few months away.

When compared to March, April experiences a significant rise in temperatures, further amplifying the prevailing hot conditions. As Mauritania heads into May, these temperatures will continue to climb, reaching their peak during the heart of the Mauritanian summer. The increasing heat makes April a challenging month for travel and exploration, especially in the inland and northern desert regions.
