January, like December, is a hot winter month in Bare, Cameroon, with temperature in the range of an average low of 18.5°C (65.3°F) and an average high of 31.7°C (89.1°F).

Temperature

January's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still hot 31.7°C (89.1°F) from December's 30.6°C (87.1°F). Bare documents a striking divergence from daytime highs, with an average nighttime temperature of 18.5°C (65.3°F) in January.

Heat index

For most parts of January, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
