Maintaining close parity with daytime warmth, the average nocturnal temperature in Alyangula during January stays at a moderately hot 28.3°C (82.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index in January is calculated to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. 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. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Note: In January, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely. Caution! Sand and water reflections can notably increase the UV radiation intensity.
