April weather forecast
Acandí, Colombia

Entering April, Acandí's weather accommodates the on-set of a profound rainy phase. The precipitation levels soar to a significant 203mm (7.99"). This results in a degree of dampness much higher than in previous months. Yet, the increase in the number of sunshine hours offers a defining balance. Despite the surge in rainfall, Acandí weather remains comfortably predictable as April progresses.

Temperature

The commencement of April in Acandí records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F), barely varying from March's 29.7°C (85.5°F). In the month of April, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

In April, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck. Alert! UV radiation becomes sharper due to reflections from sand and water.
