April weather forecast
Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua

With the onset of the wet season, April marks a significant jump in rainfall from 3mm (0.12") to 35mm (1.38"). Despite this, April continues to enjoy plenty of sunshine hours. It is a season of growth and renewal in Ciudad Sandino. The temperatures start to increase, peaking at the end of the month. A considerable shift in weather is observed as the month progresses.

Temperature

April, on average, is the warmest month, registering a high temperature of 34.6°C (94.3°F) and a low of 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in April is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. 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 physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity in Ciudad Sandino are March and April, with an average relative humidity of 59%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in April, converts into the following recommendations:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. 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. 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.
