Weather in April
Temperature
During April, the average high-temperature is a still tropical 30°C (86°F), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. During April, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 21.1°C (70°F).Heat index
During April, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
