Weather in April

April, like March, in Guntur, India, is another torrid pre-monsoon summer month, with an average temperature ranging between min 26.5°C (79.7°F) and max 39.5°C (103.1°F).

Temperature

The onset of April marks an average high-temperature of a still very hot 39.5°C (103.1°F), hardly differing from March's 37°C (98.6°F). Despite the high peak temperatures, Guntur witnesses an average nighttime cooling to a warm 26.5°C (79.7°F) in April.

Heat index

April's average heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are treated as highly risky, with approaching heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April in Guntur, India, is 58%.

UV index

In Guntur, the average daily maximum UV index in April is 8. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 8 in April translates into the following recommendations:
Being unprotected puts skin and eyes at risk of rapid damage. Always be safe. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
