Weather in April
Temperature
Lukonga experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F) in April, mirroring March's climate. The nights of April anticipate an average low-temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F).Heat index
April's heat index is appraised at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

January through April, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In April, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
