April weather forecast
Abidzi, Benin

Just as in its previous month, April in Abidzi continues to have high rainfall. The number of sunshine days drops sharply, and the city can almost forget about clear blue skies for the time being. Umbrellas and rain boots become mandatory accessories in every local’s wardrobe. Despite these weather conditions, the temperatures stay relatively warm, offering a peculiar mix of wet yet warm climate. The air quality and visibility are still good, making the outdoor ambiance enjoyable.

Abidzi marks the onset of April with an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35.7°C (96.3°F), a subtle shift from March's 36.7°C (98.1°F). Throughout April, the nighttime temperature averages to a moderately hot 24°C (75.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index for April is evaluated at a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

In April, the average relative humidity is 66%.
