Lucola, Angola

April, the same as March, is a moderately hot autumn month in Lucola, Angola, with an average temperature ranging between max 29.4°C (84.9°F) and min 26.1°C (79°F).

Temperature

The start of April sees the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), showing little difference from March's 29.8°C (85.6°F). April introduces a small decrease to a nighttime average of 26.1°C (79°F).

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 82%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through April and November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: An average UV index of 7 in April transforms into this advice:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
