January, like December, is another tropical summer month in Coowonga, Australia, with temperature in the range of an average low of 22.1°C (71.8°F) and an average high of 30.9°C (87.6°F).

Temperature

Welcoming January, Coowonga notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), nearly consistent with December's 31.1°C (88°F). Coowonga records a steady low-temperature average of 22.1°C (71.8°F) during January.

Heat index

The heat index in January is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Note: In January, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
