April weather forecast
Sode, Togo

April in Sode, Togo, presents a noticeable weather shift, characterized by an escalating average temperature, higher levels of humidity, and an increase in rainfall. Rainfall nearly doubles to 50mm (1.97") from 24mm (0.94") in the previous month, confirming the arrival of the wet season. Despite the increasing rain and humidity, daylight hours remain consistent, offering long, warm, and humid days. The wind speed fluctuates modestly, creating a comforting breeze that alleviates the intensifying heat.

Sode experiences a minor change to a still torrid 38.2°C (100.8°F) in average high-temperature during April, closely reflecting March. Sode's nighttime average of 25.8°C (78.4°F) during April reflects a substantial decrease from the daytime temperature.

Heat index

In April, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Be vigilant. Without due care, eyes and skin can be harmed in no time. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
