January weather forecast
Curumuy, Peru

January, the same as December, in Curumuy, Peru, is a hot summer month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 23°C (73.4°F) and an average high of 31.8°C (89.2°F).

Temperature

The onset of January marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), hardly differing from December's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Throughout the month of January, the average temperature dips to a moderately hot 23°C (73.4°F) at night.

Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Humidity

In January, the average relative humidity is 62%.

Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during January morphs into the following directions:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
