April weather forecast
Bogor, Indonesia

As we transition into April, the weather subtly starts to change with still-visible traces of the preceding wet period. Reduced rainfall is manifest at a rate of 245mm (9.65"), still substantial but less intense than March. Meanwhile, Bogor experiences a slight rise in its average low and high temperatures. Although the rainfall decreases, the clouds' presence is still high, causing the skies to be mostly overcast with occasional glimpses of the sun. The wind speed maintains a steady pace, guaranteeing gentle breezes amid the still humid atmosphere.

Temperature

Bogor's weather in April displays an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), showing minor disparity from March's 29.6°C (85.3°F). Bogor's temperature in April lowers to a consistent average of 23.2°C (73.8°F) during the nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during April is estimated at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in April translates into this advice:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
