Temperature

April, known for its average high temperature of 30.9°C (87.6°F) and an average low temperature of 18.8°C (65.8°F), is the warmest month.

Heat index

April's mean heat index is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
