Temperature

The commencement of January introduces an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. During January, Tumiritinga experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 20.1°C (68.2°F).

Heat index

January's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In January, the average relative humidity is 83%.
