January weather forecast
Iron Range, Australia

January, the same as December, in Iron Range, Australia, is another hot summer month, with an average temperature ranging between max 31.3°C (88.3°F) and min 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Temperature

January's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), showing a minute difference from December's 32.8°C (91°F). In the month of January, the average temperature dips to a moderately hot 23.8°C (74.8°F) during the night.

Heat index

The heat index in January is calculated to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
