Temperature
April is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 31.4°C (88.5°F) to a low of 25°C (77°F).
Heat index
The heat index value during April is estimated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
