April weather forecast
Bor, South Sudan

April signifies a dramatic shift in the weather parameters in Bor, South Sudan. The humidity jumps to 47% and rainfall escalates drastically, reaching an average of 43mm (1.69"). As the landscape transforms with the increase in rainfall, residents embrace the cooler temperatures and the onset of heavier cloud coverage. Despite these changes, the number of daylight and sunshine hours per day remain relatively unchanged from the previous months. The wind speed aligns with the changing elements, sustaining a similar speed in comparison to the preceding month of March.

Temperature

Bor observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between March's 38.6°C (101.5°F) and April's 36.7°C (98.1°F). During the nights in April, Bor experiences a consistent average temperature of 26.4°C (79.5°F).

Heat index

April's mean heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Note: A typical high UV index of 8 in April suggests the following recommendations:
Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
