April weather forecast
Kakambona, Solomon Islands

April in Kakambona, Solomon Islands carries a modest hike in temperature and sunlight hours from the previous month, enabling brighter and warmer atmospheric conditions. Interestingly, while the temperature rises, the amount of rainfall reduces to 211mm (8.31"), breaking the trend of rising dampness. Also, the wind loses its speed, thereby lowering the gustiness. Dealing with fewer rain days and a higher UV index, April provides a window of warmer and sunnier weather condition amidst the typically wet and humid climate of Kakambona.

Temperature

Kakambona sees the arrival of April with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F), indicating a subtle variation from March. Kakambona, during the month of April, experiences an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).

Heat index

April's heat index is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

January, March and April, with an average relative humidity of 85%, are the most humid months.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
