April weather forecast
Bhurgaon, Bhutan

April in Bhurgaon, Bhutan, represents the arrival of the wet season as evidenced by a major leap in rainfall that intensifies from March's 26mm (1.02") to 135mm (5.31"). The escalation in rainfall patterns is complementary to increased humidity, which boosts vegetation growth. Consequently, April experiences a noticeable dip in sunlight hours and increased cloud cover. Despite the more humid conditions, wind speeds remain relatively stable. Meanwhile, temperatures continue to rise, contributing to the overall warmth that April brings.

Temperature

April, recording an average high temperature of 34°C (93.2°F) and a low temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F), is Bhurgaon's warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index value during April is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential.

Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
