By the time
April rolls in,
Kalabagan finds itself veering into the heart of the hot, humid season. Temperatures nudge into summer heights, marking the apex in the seasonal arch. April, however, stands out for its generous rainfall—156mm (6.14") spread over six days. This sharp rise in rainfall contributes to the creation of a moist atmosphere. Consequently, as the landscape gets doused with showers, an intermittent sun keeps the heat factor under check.
Temperature
In Kalabagan, the month of April is known for its highest average temperatures, reaching a high of 33.7°C (92.7°F) and a low of 23.6°C (74.5°F).
Heat index
For most parts of April, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
