April, like March, in Ruskin, Florida, is a moderately hot spring month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 82°F (27.8°C) and an average low of 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Temperature

With the transition into April, Ruskin experiences a subtle uplift in average high-temperatures, adjusting from a warm 75.7°F (24.3°C) in March to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C). Ruskin encounters an average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) during April nights.

Heat index

In April, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
