Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 87%.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
