Weather in April

April in Kuching is characterized by clearer skies and extended periods of sunshine hours relative to March. The city basks in relatively high temperatures, with the gentle breeze offering a soothing contrast to the sweltering heat. The sea temperature reaches its apex of 30°C (86°F), offering an inviting climate for all forms of coastal and waterfront activities. Despite the high heat conditions, the relative humidity drops slightly, creating somewhat comfortable conditions. The escalating heat levels prepare the city for an even hotter month that follows in May.

Heat index

The heat index value during April is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
