Temperature

March and April are identified as the warmest months, with an average high-temperature of 35.1°C (95.2°F).

Heat index

April's average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
