Bode, Senegal

April, like March, in Bode, Senegal, is another sweltering spring month, with an average temperature varying between 38.7°C (101.7°F) and 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Temperature

The warmest period is usually observed in March and April, with the average high-temperature peaking at 38.7°C (101.7°F).

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 40%.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
