Heat index

April's mean heat index is appraised at a burning hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are understood as very dangerous, as heatstroke is near.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 77%.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
