April weather forecast
Tapeta, Liberia

April denotes the arrival of the wet season in Tapeta, Liberia, with an observable dip in temperatures and a surge in rainfall. Visitors can expect increased cloud cover, bringing down the maximum temperatures to around 33°C (91.4°F), and sporadic rainfall accumulating to 98mm (3.86"). With the increasing humidity and cloud coverage, the sunshine duration reduces, yet daylight hours extend. Despite an increase in wind speeds, the moist wind does little to dissipate the humidity in the atmosphere.

Temperature

Tapeta's shift from March to April is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33°C (91.4°F), a slight deviation from 34.2°C (93.6°F). Tapeta's nighttime temperature in April falls to an average of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

During April, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
