April weather forecast
New Kru Town, Liberia

Heralding the onset of the rainiest period in New Kru Town, Liberia, April is defined by the significant upsurge in rainfall to 72mm (2.83") from March. Despite the heightened precipitation, the temperature range stays equally high as the preceding months, displaying the region's classic tropical climate. The frequency of sunshine hours lessens with increased cloud cover, indicating the transition into the wetter half of the year. As we journey further into the rainy season, the intensity of relative humidity and cloud coverage is expected to escalate. Meanwhile, the wind gears up alongside the shifting weather patterns, contributing to the climate's dynamism.

Heat index

During April, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
