April weather forecast
Memot, Cambodia

April brings an escalation in humidity, pushing Memot's weather more towards tropical climate. Showers become more frequent now, as rainfall in the city reaches 109mm (4.29"). Much awaited, these rains help alleviate the intense heat we witness in March. Yet, even with these rains, the overall daytime temperature still remains quite high. A favorite activity for locals and visitors alike during April is to indulge in water fights, a traditional Cambodian way of celebrating the New Year.

Temperature

With the transition into April, Memot notes an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.5°C (95.9°F), closely resembling March. April witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 26.4°C (79.5°F) in Memot.

Heat index

April's heat index is estimated at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
