April weather forecast
Chuuk, Micronesia

The trend continues into April as the temperatures rise slightly, and so do the levels of precipitation to 291mm (11.46"). Other parameters like the sea temperature and the daylight hours remain steady. Despite this consistency, April often turns out to be the wetter month, even though it doesn’t deplete the sunshine hours significantly. The UV index hovers around the maximum level, signifying the need for sun protection during outdoor activities. Overall, the weather in April is strikingly similar to March, with its key character being the slightly higher temperature.

Temperature

The arrival of April brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.4°C (86.7°F), subtly diverging from March's 30.2°C (86.4°F). Chuuk, during April nights, observes an average temperature of 25°C (77°F).

Heat index

For April, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In April, the average relative humidity is 81%.

Note: In April, a daily UV index of 12 turns into the following recommendations:
Employ all critical precautions. Guarding against sun damage is essential. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat. One must apply and reapply generously an SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen every two hours or after an outdoor workout or swim. Caution! The mirror effect of sand and water ups the UV radiation strength.
