April weather forecast
Edina, Liberia

April is a significant month in Edina’s weather calendar, a transition point frpm where the dry season ends and moves into a torrential rainy season. It records a substantial increase in rainfall and reflects the typical tropical climate. A notable jump in rainfall from 69mm (2.72") in March to 164mm (6.46") in April denotes a change in weather patterns. April thus becomes one of the rainiest months of the year. However, the other meteorological variables such as temperatures and wind velocities don’t exhibit significant changes.

Temperature

Edina, Liberia, experiences a minor change to a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F) in average high-temperature during April, closely reflecting March. Edina reports an average low-temperature of 26.2°C (79.2°F) during the subtly cooler April nights.

Heat index

In April, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 80%.

UV index

January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In April, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
