Temperature

The beginning of April marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from March's 31°C (87.8°F) to a still hot 34.1°C (93.4°F). A dramatic downturn marks the April nights, with lows averaging at an enjoyable 19.6°C (67.3°F).

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
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. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Note: In April, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
