Weather in April
Temperature
The shift to April signals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.1°C (84.4°F), subtly varied from March's 29.3°C (84.7°F). Registering an almost steady temperature, Gordon's nights in April see an average low of 24.2°C (75.6°F).Heat index
Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
