Heat index

The heat index for April is estimated at a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 52%.

UV index

February through April and November, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In April, a daily maximum UV index of 8 leads to the following instructions:
Always prioritize safety measures. Rapid harm can befall unprotected skin and eyes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
