Heat index

For April, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

April is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 72%.

UV index

February through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during April, leads to the following recommendations:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
