Rainfall is voluminous during this period, with torrential downpours creating a rather damp atmosphere. Consequentially, high humidity conditions prevail. A fresh, gentle breeze can be noticed with average winds barely reaching above 4.6km/h (2.9mph). Despite the rains, sufficient daylight hours allow for the local activities to be conducted.

Temperature

January, known for its average high temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F), is the coldest month.

Heat index

January's average heat index is calculated to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in January converts into the following recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
