Acam, Equatorial Guinea

In April, the rainy season in Acam is in full effect, bringing a similar amount of precipitation as in March with 170mm (6.69") over 28 days. Slightly cooler temperatures continue to provide some respite from the humid weather. Sunshine hours continue to dwindle, allowing less time for outdoor activities.

Temperature

The average high-temperature in Acam is a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F) in April, hardly different from the 32.1°C (89.8°F) recorded in March. Throughout April, the average low-temperature dips to a pleasant 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

During April, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. 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.
