Gariche, Panama

April, like March, is another hot spring month in Gariche, Panama, with an average temperature varying between 23.5°C (74.3°F) and 32.9°C (91.2°F).

The beginning of April records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.9°C (91.2°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. During April, the average low-temperature is a moderately hot 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

For April, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 67%.
