The move into April indicates a slight reduction in the average high-temperature, down from March's tropical 33°C (91.4°F) to a moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F). During the month of April, an average temperature of 18.2°C (64.8°F) is noted during the nights.

Heat index

April's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
