Weather in April

April, the same as March, is a moderately hot spring month in Alachua, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 60.8°F (16°C) and 80.6°F (27°C).

The shift into April is accompanied by a modest temperature increase, with the average high-temperature edging up from a moderately hot 74.3°F (23.5°C) in March to a still warm 80.6°F (27°C). Alachua's nighttime temperature during April is consistently averaged at a refreshing 60.8°F (16°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in April is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
