April weather forecast
Buluya, Uganda

April, the same as March, is another warm spring month in Buluya, Uganda, with an average temperature fluctuating between 17.4°C (63.3°F) and 29°C (84.2°F).

Temperature

The onset of April entails a subtle temperature shift, as the average high-temperature eases from a hot 32.1°C (89.8°F) in March to a moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a comfortable 17.4°C (63.3°F) during April.

Heat index

During April, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

The average relative humidity in April is 81%.
