April weather forecast
Niger

April is typically one of the hottest months of the year in Niger, representing the peak of the hot dry season. Average temperatures during this month range from 30°C (86°F) to 45°C (113°F). Daytime temperatures often reach this upper limit, particularly in the southern regions, while at night they can drop to 25°C (77°F). The northern desert areas, such as Agadez, also experience extreme heat, but can have nighttime temperatures as low as 20°C (68°F).

Compared to March, April witnesses an additional increase in temperatures. The searing heat of April stands in stark contrast to the relative coolness experienced in the earlier months of the year, signalling the peak of the hot season.

As with previous months, April sees minimal to no rainfall, thus maintaining the arid conditions that have prevailed since the end of the last rainy season. This lack of rainfall, coupled with high evaporation rates, adds to the country's overall water deficit.

The capital city, Niamey, experiences extreme heat in April, with average temperatures varying from 30°C (86°F) to 45°C (113°F). Despite these high daytime temperatures, the city continues to have clear skies and plenty of sunshine, which can be enjoyed in the cooler early morning and evening hours.

Daylight hours remain consistent, with an average of 12 hours of daylight per day. The Harmattan winds, which can create dusty and hazy conditions, are typically inactive during April. As a result, while the heat can be intense, the sky is often clear and the visibility good. The extreme temperatures of April set the stage for the forthcoming transition to the rainy season in the following months.
