January weather forecast
Forsayth, Australia

January, the same as December, is another warm summer month in Forsayth, Australia, with an average temperature varying between 29.1°C (84.4°F) and 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Temperature

The initiation of January sees an average high-temperature of a warm 29.1°C (84.4°F), showing minor variations from the previous month. Forsayth sees an average low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F) during January.

Heat index

January's mean heat index is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. 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. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

In January, the average relative humidity is 83%.

Rainfall

January is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 25.2 days and accumulates 200mm (7.87") of precipitation.

Daylight

The average length of the day in January is 13h and 6min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 5:51 am and sunset at 7:05 pm. On the last day of January, sunrise is at 6:10 am and sunset at 7:07 pm AEST.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in January is 7.6h.

UV index

January through March, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in January translates into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
