April weather forecast
Lapasan, Philippines

April, like March, in Lapasan, Philippines, is another warm spring month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.7°C (85.5°F) and 22.9°C (73.2°F).

Temperature

At the start of April, Lapasan's average high-temperature reaches a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), subtly different from the preceding month. In the month of April, an average of 22.9°C (73.2°F) marks the low-temperature.

Heat index

For April, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during April, leads to the following recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
