April weather forecast
Birnin Gwari, Nigeria

April, like March, in Birnin Gwari, Nigeria, is another sweltering spring month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 37.8°C (100°F) and 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Temperature

April's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still torrid 37.8°C (100°F), hardly different from the previous month. Birnin Gwari records a significant temperature drop in April nights, lowering to an average of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 42%.

Rainfall

In April, the rain falls for 7.3 days. Throughout April, 17mm (0.67") of precipitation is accumulated. In Birnin Gwari, during the entire year, the rain falls for 129.8 days and collects up to 607mm (23.9") of precipitation.

Daylight

In April, the average length of the day is 12h and 22min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:30 and sunset at 18:44. On the last day of April, sunrise is at 06:15 and sunset at 18:46 WAT.

Sunshine

In April, the average sunshine is 9.8h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March and April, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 8 during April translates into these guidelines:
Be constantly cautious; skin and eyes can be quickly affected if left unprotected. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
