Heat index

The average heat index in April is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. 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 hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In Kongor, the average relative humidity in April is 47%.

UV index

January through April and December, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 8 during April leads to these instructions:
Always be careful, as unprotected skin and eyes might burn in no time. 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.
