Heat index

April's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. 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. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in April translates into the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
