April weather forecast
Koutobi, Togo

April's weather is defined by its heightened rainfall and increased humidity. Recorded temperatures range between a low of 27.8°C (82°F) and a high of 38.7°C (101.7°F). A significant deviation is detected in the ratio of cloudy days, indicating an increase in humidity related to the upsurged rainfall. Nonetheless, daylight hours remain ample, and the UV index remains steady, preventing any significant fluctuations in the sunshine hours.

Temperature

Koutobi records an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 38.7°C (101.7°F) in April, maintaining a close correlation with March's 39.3°C (102.7°F). Throughout April, an average nighttime temperature of 27.8°C (82°F) is experienced.

Heat index

During April, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 46%.

Note: In April, a daily maximum UV index of 8 leads to the following instructions:
Ensure you're always protected. Unprotected skin can get damaged in moments. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
