April weather forecast
Maridi, South Sudan

As April unfolds in Maridi, the weather takes a significant turn from the conditions experienced in March. There is a prominent upswing in rainfall, hinting at the approach of a more intense wet season. The previously scorching temperatures witness a slight dip, rendering the weather considerably cooler as compared to the previous month. While the latter part of April sees an increase in cloud coverage, wind speed sees a surge, blowing at an average of 7.5km/h (4.7mph). In parallel to these meteorological changes, April registers a substantial spike in rainfall, resulting in accumulated precipitation measuring 67mm (2.64").

Temperature

The ushering in of April brings an average high-temperature of a tropical 33.3°C (91.9°F), closely mirroring the 35.6°C (96.1°F) of March. Maridi, in the month of April, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F).

Heat index

In April, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
