April is a hot spring month in Santa Maria, Texas, with an average temperature varying between 87.3°F (30.7°C) and 68.4°F (20.2°C).

A slight uplift of average high-temperatures is noted in April, with temperatures adjusting from a warm 81°F (27.2°C) in March to a tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C). In Santa Maria, the average temperature during the nights of April drops to a pleasant 68.4°F (20.2°C).

Heat index

April's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
