Weather in April

April signifies a significant transition period in Plantation's weather patterns. Daylight continues to stretch leading to an increased rate of evapotranspiration, pushing temperatures higher. Simultaneously, rainfall amounts remain relatively constant, providing little respite from the escalating heat. However, a noticeable reduction in wind speed marks April, providing a much-needed break for residents from gusty conditions. Within this month, temperatures fluctuate between 72.1°F (22.3°C) and 81.3°F (27.4°C).

Temperature

The start of April sees the average high-temperature at a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C), showing little difference from March's 77.4°F (25.2°C). An average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) is recorded during the nights in April.

Heat index

For April, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Constant exposure and activity lead to possible fatigue. Prolonged exercise may result in heat cramps.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
