Weather in April
Temperature
As March transitions into April, the average high-temperature rests at a still tropical 32.7°C (90.9°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Throughout April, Befale experiences a low-temperature average of 21.4°C (70.5°F).Heat index
In April, the average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. 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. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
