April weather forecastFive Star, Guyana

Weather in April

April is a tropical spring month in Five Star, Guyana, with an average temperature varying between 23.7°C (74.7°F) and 30°C (86°F).

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a hot 30°C (86°F) in April, hardly different from the 29.5°C (85.1°F) recorded in March. Throughout April, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

During April, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

March and April, with an average relative humidity of 78%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

In April, in Five Star, the rain falls for 22.6 days. Throughout April, 55mm (2.17") of precipitation is accumulated. In Five Star, Guyana, during the entire year, the rain falls for 305.1 days and collects up to 1386mm (54.57") of precipitation.

On the first day of April, sunrise is at 05:59 and sunset at 18:11. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 05:46 and sunset at 18:10 -04.

Sunshine

In April, the average sunshine in Five Star is 9.5h.

UV index

March through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during April translates into the following guidance:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
