Weather in April
Temperature
Wedamulla's warmest season falls during March and April, averaging a high-temperature of 31.8°C (89.2°F).Heat index
April's average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. 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 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
