April weather forecast
Kelle, Congo

April embodies the brink of the wet months. The rainfall during this period increases to 104mm (4.09"). Weather conditions appear to diverge from previous months as temperatures and wind speeds subtly decrease, giving a refreshing twist to the persistent summery feel. The UV index stays constant, matching the preceding months. April's weather becomes a preface for the rainy season, suggesting burgeoning hydrological activities ahead.

Temperature

The beginning of April records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.7°C (90.9°F), marking a negligible difference from March's 33.3°C (91.9°F). Kelle reports an average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) during the nights of April.

Heat index

April's mean heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 77%.

Rainfall

In Kelle, during April, the rain falls for 23.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 104mm (4.09") of precipitation. In Kelle, during the entire year, the rain falls for 270.9 days and collects up to 1169mm (46.02") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In April, the average sunshine is 9.5h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through July, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during April leads to these advisories:
Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
