Weather in April

April, the same as March, in Colombia, Cuba, is another tropical spring month, with an average temperature varying between 31.8°C (89.2°F) and 21.4°C (70.5°F).

Temperature

Shifting into April, Colombia records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. In the month of April, the average temperature dips to a pleasant 21.4°C (70.5°F) during the night.

Heat index

During April, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 72%.

Rainfall

In Colombia, during April, the rain falls for 16.6 days and regularly aggregates up to 47mm (1.85") of precipitation. In Colombia, during the entire year, the rain falls for 202.5 days and collects up to 785mm (30.91") of precipitation.

Daylight

In Colombia, the average length of the day in April is 12h and 38min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 07:02 and sunset at 19:24. On the last day of April, sunrise is at 06:39 and sunset at 19:34 CDT.

Sunshine

In April, the average sunshine is 10.2h.

UV index

April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In April, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
