Ikanda, Uganda

April, like March, in Ikanda, Uganda, is a moderately hot spring month, with an average temperature varying between 29°C (84.2°F) and 17.4°C (63.3°F).

Temperature

April's arrival coincides with a soft drop in the average high-temperature, subtly decreasing from March's tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F) to a moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F). During April, Ikanda experiences an average low-temperature of 17.4°C (63.3°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value during April is appraised at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
