With January's arrival, Didimbo's weather records an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.6°C (87.1°F), marking little difference from December's 31.5°C (88.7°F). Didimbo observes an average low-temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F) during January nights.

Heat index

January's mean heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in January is 65%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is January, when the rain falls for 22.1 days and typically aggregates up to 113mm (4.45") of precipitation.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in January is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 6 during January translates into the following guidance:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. 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. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
