April weather forecast
Mueda, Mozambique

April’s climate is marked by dropping temperatures and steady decrease of rainfall. The average temperature high dips under 30 to 29.1°C (84.4°F), providing a noticeable cooling trend compared to the blistering heat of March. A continual trend of lowering rainfall is observed, making April relatively drier. The decrease in temperature provides respite to the townfolk. Expect this weather pattern to continue into May, signaling the slow onset of the dryer months.

Temperature

The start of April marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.1°C (84.4°F), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in March. Nighttime, during April, brings an average low of 24.3°C (75.7°F), a modest reduction from the day's peak.

Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

UV index

January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in April interprets into the following recommendations:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. 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. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
