April weather forecast
Batbai, Sierra Leone

April, like March, is another tropical spring month in Batbai, Sierra Leone, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.3°C (77.5°F) and an average high of 30.8°C (87.4°F).

Temperature

Batbai's average high-temperature marks a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F) with the advent of April, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. Throughout April, a steady low-temperature average of 25.3°C (77.5°F) is noted.

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 74%.

Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in April transforms into the following instructions:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
