Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in April in Farasan is 63%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through October, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In April, a daily maximum UV index of 8 leads to the following instructions:
Prioritize protection; rapid damage can occur to unprotected eyes and skin. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat. Caution! Sand and water surfaces escalate the UV intensity from the Sun.
