April weather forecast
Mabay, Cuba

April, the same as March, in Mabay, Cuba, is another tropical spring month, with an average temperature ranging between min 20.9°C (69.6°F) and max 31.8°C (89.2°F).

Temperature

April notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), subtly differing from March's 30.4°C (86.7°F). In April, Mabay reports a consistent average low-temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F) during the nights.

Heat index

The heat index value for April is estimated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 73%.

UV index

March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in April translates into the following instructions:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
