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

Ondo's average high-temperature in April sits at a still hot 33.4°C (92.1°F), showing little difference from the previous month. In Ondo, April's nights observe an average temperature dip to a moderately hot 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
