Temperature

April, known for its average high temperature of 32.8°C (91°F) and an average low temperature of 22°C (71.6°F), is the warmest month.

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. 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 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
