April weather forecast
Ondo, Nigeria

April stands out for its lower daylight hours and a notable increase in rainfall, reaching 104mm (4.09"), that marks the height of the wet season in Ondo. Weather patterns show a further decline in sunlight hours and an increase in the cloud percentage. Local residents may notice that the wind speeds decrease slightly, potentially due to the increased atmospheric pressure and humidity levels. Furthermore, the UV index drops to 6 at this time, so sun protection remains necessary albeit less crucial than in earlier months. Transitioning into the month of May, the city braces itself for even higher rainfall rates and increased humidity.

Temperature

The transition into April is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.4°C (92.1°F), showing an insignificant shift from March's 34.4°C (93.9°F). An average nighttime temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F) is recorded in Ondo during April.

Heat index

April's mean heat index is computed to be a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Note: A typical high UV index of 6 in April suggests the following recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
