The onset of April manifests an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.1°C (95.2°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Throughout April, Apete encounters an average temperature drop to a warm 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

In April, the average heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 71%.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
