Ihiagwa's shift into April sets the average high-temperature at a still tropical 33.3°C (91.9°F), a figure that deviates only slightly from March's 34.1°C (93.4°F). Throughout the April nights, Ihiagwa encounters a low-temperature of 24.7°C (76.5°F).

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

In April, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in April leads to these recommendations:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
