April weather forecast
Raga, South Sudan

As Raga moves further into the year, April ushers in the highest recorded increase in both rainfall and humidity (50%), a definitive sign of the rainy season setting in. However, despite the rise in rainfall, the days remain largely warm with very little variation in daylight hours. Correspondingly, there is also a slight increase in the low and high temperatures, indicating the commencement of a wet and warmer season. This transition in weather is crucial to the region's agriculture and contributes to the variety and abundance of its flora and fauna.

Temperature

April brings the highest temperatures, with an average high of 37.5°C (99.5°F) and an average low of 21°C (69.8°F).

Heat index

April's heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
