April weather forecast
Kissidougou, Guinea

In April, the Kissidougou weather continues to trend towards the warmer side, resulting in a high evaporation rate. Solidifying its monsoon credentials, the city sees increased cloud cover, leading to more rainfall and dampened sunshine. Despite the rise in rainfall, the consistent strength of the winds helps disperse the rainfall, reducing the likelihood of flooding. Remarkably, April tops the UV Index readings for the year, hitting a six on the scale. As the climate leans towards the extreme, the need for sun protection becomes a crucial element of weather preparedness.

Temperature

The arrival of April coincides with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.7°C (92.7°F), indicating a minimal shift from March's 34.8°C (94.6°F). Kissidougou witnesses a consistent, sharp contrast from the daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 20.5°C (68.9°F) throughout April.

Heat index

April's average heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
