April ushers in the season of high rainfall in
Ebeye, with a meteoric rise from 104mm (4.09") in
March to 192mm (7.56"). Consequently, weather can be quite unpredictable with the highest recorded rainfall days in Ebeye. Regardless of the rain, April remains warm as island temperatures continue their steady climb. Despite the high rainfall, extended daylight hours ensure that life remains vibrant. Navigational activities, however, take a slight hit due to a subtle rise in sea temperatures compared to March.
Temperature
Ebeye experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.4°C (86.7°F) in April, marking an insignificant shift from 30.6°C (87.1°F) in March. An average nighttime temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F) is recorded during April.
Heat index
In April, the average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. 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 meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
Humidity
In April, the average relative humidity is 79.7%.
Rainfall
In Ebeye, in April, during 12.7 rainfall days, 192mm (7.56") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 190.8 rainfall days, and 2593mm (102.09") of precipitation is accumulated.
Sea temperature
In April, the average sea temperature in Ebeye is 28.4°C (83.1°F).
Note: Engaging in water activities, such as swimming or diving, in temperatures from 25°C (77°F) to 29°C (84.2°F) is very pleasurable for extended periods, without any discomfort.
Daylight
In Ebeye, the average length of the day in April is 12h and 19min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:46 and sunset at 18:59. On the last day of April, sunrise is at 06:33 and sunset at 18:59 +12.
