Temperature

Mocimboa da Praia's April showcases an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.1°C (84.4°F), hardly distinct from March's 29.8°C (85.6°F). The April average low temperature, marginally lower than the daytime high, records at a still warm 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

April's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear. Stay aware! UV radiation is magnified when reflecting off sand and water.
