Heat index

In April, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 71%.

Rainfall

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
