April weather forecast
Al Kawd, Yemen

Al Kawd approaches the calendar's fourth page with temperatures pushing onward from the 29.8°C (85.6°F) witnessed in March. For the first time in the year, average daytime temperatures exceed 30°C (86°F). This should not deter tourists, as the low rainfalls expected during this period rarely disrupt outdoor activities. Al Kawd's April weather is contrastingly dry, limiting moisture in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, influence from the North Westward facing wind is further refined, exemplifying coastal weather conditions.

Heat index

April's average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

February through April, with an average relative humidity of 74%, are the most humid months.
