April weather forecast
Carolina, Suriname

April in Carolina, Suriname marks the arrival of slightly heightened weather extremities. The city anticipates a noticeable rise in rainfall intensities, necessitating weather-proof arrangements for outdoor activities. The day-to-day temperature continues its slight ascending trend, causing an elevated feel of tropical heat. During this month, the temperature chart presents 30.3°C (86.5°F) as the highest reading and 22.1°C (71.8°F) as the lowest. On a brighter note, days see an uptick in daylight hours, casting a warmer tone over the cityscape.

Temperature

Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

UV index

January through June, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index in Carolina. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In April, the maximum UV index of 6 transforms into these recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
