The advent of April sees the average high-temperature at a moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), subtly shifted from March's 31.2°C (88.2°F). April witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during April is appraised at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
