Weather in April
Temperature
The average high-temperature during April is a still warm 28.8°C (83.8°F), closely mirroring the previous month's conditions. April nights observe an average temperature dip to an agreeable 22.4°C (72.3°F).Heat index
For April, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. 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. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
