Weather in January
Temperature
As January unfolds, the average high-temperature reaches a still moderately hot 28.5°C (83.3°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from the previous month. A consistent average low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F), with a minor variance from the daytime highs, is noted in Rakanda during the nights of January.Heat index
January's heat index is estimated at a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
