Temperature

Iron Range's shift into April sets the average high-temperature at a moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), a figure that deviates only slightly from March's 30.3°C (86.5°F). Iron Range sees an average low-temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) during April.

Heat index

The heat index in April is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

In Iron Range, the average relative humidity in April is 81%.

Note: The UV index of 6 during April leads to these advisories:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
