April weather forecast
Bancal, Philippines

April, like March, is another hot spring month in Bancal, Philippines, with an average temperature ranging between min 25.1°C (77.2°F) and max 32.8°C (91°F).

Temperature

The onset of April marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), hardly differing from March's 30.9°C (87.6°F). Bancal's temperature lowers to a mean of 25.1°C (77.2°F) during the nights in April.

Heat index

The average heat index in April is calculated to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
