Temperature

The arrival of April sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.1°C (84.4°F), hardly diverging from March's 29.6°C (85.3°F). A steady low-temperature average of 24.4°C (75.9°F) is logged during April, reflecting a modest dip from daytime readings.

Heat index

The average heat index in April is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly. Attention! The combination of sand and water reflections enhances UV ray intensity.
