April weather forecast
Diosso, Congo

April represents a significant shift in Diosso's weather patterns. Despite the city continuing to exude a warm climate, the atmospheric humidity starts decreasing gradually. A noteworthy shift this month is the marked decrease in rainfall to 101mm (3.98"), alleviating the continuous downpours of the preceding months. Other distinguishable features, such as cloud cover and wind patterns, undergo minor changes, contributing to the overall atmospheric modification. Stepping into May, this lowering of rainfall tends to accentuate.

Temperature

Upon the onset of April, Diosso witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.1°C (86.2°F), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. A steady low-temperature average of 25.9°C (78.6°F) is logged in Diosso during April, reflecting a modest dip from daytime readings.

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
