April weather forecast
Krakor, Cambodia

April brings a notable hike in rain, with an average rainfall of 63mm (2.48") compared to the 23mm (0.91") in March. Temperature lows and highs hover above the previous month, marking it as the warmest month of the year. Relatively high humidity combined with increased rainfall foreshadows the looming wet season. It's an ideal period for those who find delight in witnessing dramatic changes in weather dynamics. Though April's weather may challenge outdoor planners, it brings an invaluable contribution to Krakor's ecosystem.

Temperature

In Krakor, the peak average temperatures are observed in April, with a high of 36.4°C (97.5°F) and a low of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index in April is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Note: The maximum UV index of 8 during April leads to these instructions:
Ensure precautions are always in place. The risk to skin and eyes is high without them. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
