Weather in January
Temperature
January notes an average high-temperature of a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), subtly differing from December's 30.2°C (86.4°F). During January, Gerehu records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F).Heat index
January's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
