Temperature

With April's arrival, Mgamboni's weather records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), marking little difference from March's 30.7°C (87.3°F). Mgamboni records a slight downturn in temperature to an average of 25.8°C (78.4°F) during April nights.

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 75%.

Rainfall

In Mgamboni, Kenya, in April, during 20.9 rainfall days, 67mm (2.64") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, in Mgamboni, there are 211.8 rainfall days, and 587mm (23.11") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

January through June, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during April, leads to the following recommendations:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
