Heat index

For April, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 50%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through July, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In April, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. 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. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
