Weather in January
Temperature
The arrival of January denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F) from December's 31.9°C (89.4°F). Zoundja registers a consistent average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F) during January.Heat index
January's average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
