April weather forecast
Tiassale, Ivory Coast

Tiassalé continues its rainy course with April bearing witness to additional rainfall, 95mm (3.74") in total without a significant difference from March. With residents typically adapting to life under such conditions, workflows proceed as usual in this tropical city even during the wet season. However, the city's tropical aura is more pronounced now, with relative humidity levels and cloud cover on the rise. Along with this, there is a noticeable decrease in sunshine hours, further signifying the entrenched rainy season. Additionally, the wind, with gusts reaching up to 8.8km/h (5.5mph), becomes an essential player in maintaining the city's temperature by whisking away the tropical heat.

Heat index

For April, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
