April weather forecast
Caruru, Colombia

April, like March, in Caruru, Colombia, is another warm spring month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 29.3°C (84.7°F) and an average low of 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Temperature

The onset of April marks an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), hardly differing from March's 30.1°C (86.2°F). Throughout April, the average low-temperature dips to an agreeable 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. 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. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, July through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during April translates into the following directions:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
