April weather forecast
Amborondolo, Madagascar

April, like March, is another hot autumn month in Amborondolo, Madagascar, with temperature in the range of an average high of 30.4°C (86.7°F) and an average low of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

April's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.4°C (86.7°F), diverging marginally from March's 30.1°C (86.2°F). Throughout April, the average low-temperature dips to a moderately hot 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 78%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In April, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
