Weather in January
Temperature
As Kiongwe steps into January, the average high-temperature holds at a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. Kiongwe observes an average low-temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F) during January.Heat index
January's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
