Temperature

April begins with an average high-temperature of a sweltering 38.7°C (101.7°F), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. April nights show a substantial disparity from the daytime peak with an average low-temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F).

Heat index

In April, the average heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
