Temperature

A minor adjustment in Tetrem's average high-temperature is noted with the start of April, touching a still fiery hot 35.1°C (95.2°F) from March's 35.8°C (96.4°F). Despite a significant disparity with daytime temperatures, an average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) is recorded during April.

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are held as extremely risky, with imminent heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

In April, the average relative humidity in Tetrem is 77%.

UV index

January through April, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during April translates into these guidelines:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
