Temperature

The introduction of April in Come notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F) from March's 32.2°C (90°F). Come in April experiences a low-temperature average of 26.9°C (80.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during April is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
