Weather in January
Temperature
The onset of January manifests an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. In the month of January, Dekar witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F).Heat index
The heat index value for January is evaluated at a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.

A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
