The weather in
April continues
Singapore's tropical trend, with relatively steady conditions. The minimal increase in rainfall makes it slightly wetter than
March without causing any significant disruption. As the temperature continues its incremental increase, there's a simultaneous rise in sea temperatures, accounting for warmer swimming conditions. The shift in weather patterns from March to April is almost imperceptible, keeping the city's vibrant spirit untouched. As such, April remains a suitable period for leisurely exploration of the city-state.
Temperature
In Singapore, the month of April is known for its highest average temperatures, reaching a high of 31.7°C and a low of 24.4°C.
Heat index
During April, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C.
Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
In April, the average relative humidity in Singapore, Singapore, is 84.8%.
Rainfall
In April, in Singapore, the rain falls for 15 days. Throughout April, 179mm of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 178 rainfall days, and 2343mm of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index
January through
May,
August through
December, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index in Singapore, Singapore. A UV Index of 11, and more, symbolizes an extreme threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In April, a regular UV index of 12 translates into these guidelines:
Ensure every crucial precaution is taken. Individuals with light skin could experience burns in under 5 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days. Regardless of the cloudiness of the day, a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more should be applied and reapplied generously, specifically after swimming or outdoor exercise. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
