April weather forecast
Western Sahara

April in Western Sahara marks a further progression into the spring season, bringing warmer temperatures across the region. Daytime temperatures typically range from 29°C (84.2°F) to 31°C (87.8°F), representing a noticeable increase from March. The nights, however, continue to provide a counterbalance to the daytime heat, with temperatures generally falling to between 17°C (62.6°F) to 19°C (66.2°F).

Just as in the preceding months, April continues to exhibit the characteristic aridity of Western Sahara. Average rainfall remains minimal, typically less than 10mm (0.39"), as clear, sunny skies dominate most of the days in the month.

In the coastal city of Dakhla, the Atlantic Ocean's influence results in marginally moderated April temperatures. Average high temperatures hover around 29°C (84.2°F), while the average lows stay around 18°C (64.4°F). Morning fog can occasionally envelop the city due to the oceanic humidity, providing a brief break from the desert's dry conditions.

Compared to May, the subsequent month, April's weather is somewhat cooler. May marks the beginning of the summer season in Western Sahara, with average daytime temperatures climbing to between 31°C (87.8°F) to 34°C (93.2°F). March, the preceding month, experiences lower daytime temperatures, which typically range from 27°C (80.6°F) to 29°C (84.2°F).

Wind speeds in April remain high, fluctuating between 24 to 30km/h (18.6mph). With these increasing winds, dust storms become more frequent, especially in the more arid, sandy regions of Western Sahara. The rise in temperatures and wind speeds marks the transition from the mild spring season towards the intense heat of the upcoming summer months.
