Weather in January

January, the same as December, in Awae, Cameroon, is another tropical winter month, with an average temperature ranging between min 19.8°C (67.6°F) and max 32.4°C (90.3°F).

Temperature

The advent of January denotes an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F), subtly different from December's 31.1°C (88°F). Throughout January, Awae braces for a considerable drop from daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Heat index

January's mean heat index is evaluated at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly 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.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 70%, January is the least humid month.

Rainfall

January is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 14.4 days and accumulates 20mm (0.79") of precipitation.

Sunshine

UV index

In January, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in January interprets into the following advice:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
