April weather forecast
Pattambi, India

April, the same as March, in Pattambi, India, is a hot pre-monsoon summer month, with an average temperature varying between 24.5°C (76.1°F) and 34.9°C (94.8°F).

Temperature

The advent of April observes an average high-temperature of a hot 34.9°C (94.8°F), nearly identical to March's 35.3°C (95.5°F). April generally records an average low-temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 52°C (125.6°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
