Weather in April

April, like March, is a hot spring month in Astrea, Colombia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23.8°C (74.8°F) and 34.9°C (94.8°F).

Temperature

The beginning of April records an average high-temperature of a tropical 34.9°C (94.8°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Throughout April, the nighttime temperature averages to a moderately hot 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in April is estimated at a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 73%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in April, converts into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
