April weather forecast
Basibasy, Madagascar

April, the same as March, in Basibasy, Madagascar, is another hot autumn month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 24°C (75.2°F) and an average high of 31.4°C (88.5°F).

Temperature

April's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F) from March's 31.9°C (89.4°F). An average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) is observed during the April nights.

Heat index

April's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April is 66%.

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 value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in April leads to these guidelines:
Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
