April weather forecast
Maturin, Venezuela

Maturin's tropical nature shines in April as the city gears up for the pinnacle of the warm season. The temperatures reach a high not seen in the first quarter of the year. Even as temperatures rise, the city becomes more alive with the highest recorded rainfall of 38mm (1.5") until this point in the year. Despite rising humidity, the ever-present breeze plays a crucial role in providing relief. Encouragingly, the sky remains generally clear, providing relatively high visibility.

Temperature

April registers as the month with the highest average temperatures, reaching 33°C (91.4°F) at its peak and 22.1°C (71.8°F) at the lowest.

Heat index

In April, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

UV index

February through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In April, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
