Weather in January
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Weipa's average high-temperature is noted with the start of January, touching a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F) from December's 33.5°C (92.3°F). During January, an average low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F) is observed.Heat index
January's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
Humidity
In Weipa, the average relative humidity in January is 80%.Rainfall
January is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 28.5 days and accumulates 296mm (11.65") of precipitation.Sea temperature
In Weipa, in January, the average water temperature is 30.1°C (86.2°F).Note: For many swimmers, waters with temperatures rising above 30°C (86°F) might not be as cooling.

Sunshine

January, July and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In January, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Beware! The strength of the UV rays is significantly increased by the reflection of the water and sand.
