April weather forecast
Guayaquil, Ecuador

As Guayaquil embraces April, a significant rotary motion in weather patterns is discernible, performing a series of climatic ballet between sun and rain. This month marks a pivot in the yearly weather trends: rainfall plummets to 205mm (8.07"), rainfall-centric days decrease, and sunshine hours start to increase. This phase, an evident segue towards drier months, is accompanied by marginally cooler sea temperatures, resulting in a mild respite from the prevalent warmth. A touch of seasonal contrast is introduced as the month focuses on gradually reclaiming the sun from the preceding moisture-drenched months.

Temperature

The advent of April in Guayaquil reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), showing minimal difference from the prior month. The month of April records an average low-temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
