Barbacoas's April reports an average high-temperature of a tropical 34.8°C (94.6°F), exhibiting a minor difference from March. During the nights in April, the temperature averages to a moderately hot 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

April's mean heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. 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. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
