Weather in January

January, the same as December, in Zè, Benin, is another tropical winter month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 33.8°C (92.8°F) and 24°C (75.2°F).

Temperature

January, recording an average high temperature of 33.8°C (92.8°F) and a low temperature of 24°C (75.2°F), is Zè's warmest month.

Heat index

For January, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. 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. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
