April weather forecast
Magway, Myanmar

April continues the sweltering trend from March with temperatures still scaling up. A slight increase in the precipitation complements the rising humidity levels. Even the late evening and early morning hours fail to provide cold relief. Winds speed up, providing some respite from the intense heat. The month's notable feature is its highest temperature reading, peaking at 39.9°C (103.8°F), the apex for the year.

Temperature

The average temperatures reach their apex in April, averaging 39.9°C (103.8°F) at the high end and 26.1°C (79°F) at the low end.

Heat index

The heat index in April is appraised at a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
