April, the same as March, is another torrid pre-monsoon summer month in Veeraghattam, India, with an average temperature varying between 39.2°C (102.6°F) and 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Temperature

April's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F) in March to a still very hot 39.2°C (102.6°F). A notable decrease from the day's highest temperature marks April in Veeraghattam, India, culminating in an average low of 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during April is computed to be a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Precautions are essential; the risk of damage to unprotected skin and eyes is too high. 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. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
