Weather in April
Temperature
Gorakana witnesses its highest temperatures in March and April, reaching an average of 31.3°C (88.3°F).Heat index
The heat index value during April is appraised at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
