Weather in January

January is a tropical summer month in Belize, Angola, with an average temperature ranging between max 30.3°C (86.5°F) and min 22.2°C (72°F).

Temperature

Belize records a slight change with January's average high-temperatures adjusting to a hot 30.3°C (86.5°F) from December's 29.5°C (85.1°F). An average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F) is anticipated throughout the nights during January.

Heat index

The average heat index in January is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. 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. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in January is 86%.

Rainfall

In Belize, in January, it is raining for 29.5 days, with typically 191mm (7.52") of accumulated precipitation. In Belize, during the entire year, the rain falls for 247.1 days and collects up to 1446mm (56.93") of precipitation.

Daylight

The average length of the day in January in Belize is 12h and 22min.
On the first day of January, sunrise is at 06:00 and sunset at 18:23. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 06:12 and sunset at 18:31 WAT.

Sunshine

In January, the average sunshine is 7.4h.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through March, May through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during January leads to these instructions:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
