The slight increase in temperature experienced in
March extends into
April, although it is accompanied by an increase in rainfall from 60mm (2.36") to 75mm (2.95"). Daylight hours also increase slightly, paving the way for lengthier outdoor exploration. The sea temperature continues to rise, reflecting the land temperatures. Despite these changes, humidity remains stable between March and April, contributing to a continued tropical weather feeling. Weather patterns in April include higher temperatures, increased sea temperatures, and gradual increases in rainfall.
Temperature
The transition into April in
Songkhla reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F), mirroring a close resemblance to March. Throughout the nights in April, Songkhla experiences an average low-temperature of 25.4°C (77.7°F).
Heat index
The heat index value for April is calculated to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F).
Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
In April, the average relative humidity is 78%.
