April weather forecast
Colón, Cuba

April comes with warmer temperatures than March, offering sunnier skies and inviting tourists to visit. Despite the increased temperatures, wind speeds also rise to 9.3km/h (5.8mph). This change indicates a shift in weather from moderate to hot, yet the coastal breeze regulates the heat. As in the previous months, the pressure remains stable, maintaining a reading around 1015.5mb. But with a dramatic increase in rainfall to 26mm (1.02"), expect more showers during your vacation in April in Colón, Cuba.

Temperature

The advent of April in Colón brings an average high-temperature of a hot 31.6°C (88.9°F), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. April's nights in Colón observe an average temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in April is calculated to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

March and April, with an average relative humidity of 70%, are the least humid months.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
