Borborema, Brazil, experiences a transition to a still moderately hot 28.9°C (84°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of January, not greatly differing from December's 29.5°C (85.1°F). During January, an average low-temperature of 20.7°C (69.3°F) is observed.

Heat index

January's average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. 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. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
