April weather forecast
Etam, Uganda

April, like March, in Etam, Uganda, is another warm spring month, with an average temperature varying between 29.5°C (85.1°F) and 18.4°C (65.1°F).

Temperature

The onset of April results in a small decrease in the average high-temperature, moderately receding from a hot 32.5°C (90.5°F) in March to a warm 29.5°C (85.1°F). An average low-temperature of 18.4°C (65.1°F) is noted during the month of April.

Heat index

The heat index value for April is evaluated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
