Piawaning's temperature records reveal January as the warmest month, marked by average highs of 34.8°C (94.6°F) and lows of 19.9°C (67.8°F).

Heat index

In January, the average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. 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. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
