Temperature

April reports an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35°C (95°F), slightly varied from March's 35.7°C (96.3°F). During the month of April, an average low-temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) is recorded.

Heat index

In April, the average heat index is appraised at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
