Heat index

The heat index in January is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. 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. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during January translates into these guidelines:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
