Weather in April

In Akumal, April typically features warmer days and increased rainfall, though the rise in precipitation is relatively smaller. The sustained sea temperature from March offers excellent conditions for indulging in water sports. The daylight extends further, giving visitors more time to soak up the fitness-friendly weather. One remarkable attribute of April's weather is the 15.8 sunshine days, the highest through the year, making it an ideal month for sun-seekers.

Temperature

The dawn of April sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), subtly contrasting with March's 28.4°C (83.1°F). During the April nights, an average temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F) is observed.

Heat index

April's average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
