April ushers in the onset of the rain in
Sarh. Notably, rainfall jumps from 10mm (0.39") in the previous month to 37mm (1.46"). A blend of relatively high humidity and increasing daylight hours combine to create a sauna-like atmosphere. Despite the surge in rain, the sunshine maintains a near-constant presence in the sky. While the rain provides a reprieve from the heat, it also gives the cityscape a fresh, revitalizing outlook.
Temperature
Sarh marks the onset of April with an average high-temperature of a still torrid 38.5°C (101.3°F), a subtle shift from
March's 39.1°C (102.4°F). Sarh, in April, displays a significant temperature downturn during the night, with an average reading of 24.7°C (76.5°F).
Heat index
During April, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 50°C (122°F).
Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
