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 experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still hot 33°C (91.4°F) with the onset of April, maintaining near parity with March's 34.2°C (93.6°F). Throughout April, Tapeta anticipates an average low-temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. 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. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
