April weather forecast
Somalia

April signifies the advent of the intensely hot weather in Somalia. It is the hottest month of the year, with average temperatures ranging from 30°C (86°F) to 40°C (104°F) across the country. The northern region, including Hargeisa, experiences temperatures typically fluctuating between 25°C (77°F) and 35°C (95°F), while the southern city of Mogadishu sees higher temperatures, usually hovering between 35°C (95°F) and 40°C (104°F).

April is notably hotter than March, its preceding month, and slightly warmer than May, its succeeding month. This extreme rise in temperature is accompanied by increased humidity, especially in the southern regions, making the overall weather conditions quite challenging, particularly for those unaccustomed to such heat.

Simultaneously, April also marks the continuation of the Gu season, the primary rainy season in Somalia. This results in an increase in rainfall compared to the preceding months. Despite this, the total amount of precipitation remains relatively low, especially when compared to regions with more temperate climates. It is crucial to note, however, that the rainfall in Somalia, though not abundant, can be intense, often resulting in flash floods due to the parched and hardened earth's inability to absorb water quickly.

While the coastal regions continue to be influenced by the maritime environment, leading to slightly cooler temperatures and occasional light showers, the interior regions are subject to higher temperatures and increased rainfall.

Overall, April stands out in the Somali calendar due to the extreme heat it experiences, being the hottest month of the year, and the continuation of the Gu season, which brings increased rainfall to the region. Despite these challenging conditions, life in Somalia continues, with residents adapting to the heat and the sporadic rainfall.
