April weather forecast
Rio Campo, Equatorial Guinea

Heading into April brings along increased rainfall indicating subtle commencement into the rainier season. The month experiences a slight dip in the sea and air temperature from March, although the reduction is hardly enough to thwart any oceanic endeavors. The wind fluctuates subtly, and the overall visibility remains consistent with typical equatorial standards. Therefore, despite the increased rainfall, April continues to be conducive for exploration and outdoors.

Temperature

In April, the average high-temperature registers at a still moderately hot 28.6°C (83.5°F), nearly identical to March's 28.8°C (83.8°F). Maintaining close parity with daytime warmth, the average nocturnal temperature during April stays at a still moderately hot 24°C (75.2°F).

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 85%.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes. Attention! The reflection of both water and sand can increase the intensity of UV rays.
