Weather in January
Temperature
Bafou's transition from December to January introduces an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.4°C (86.7°F), marking an insignificant variation from the 29.2°C (84.6°F). Nighttime temperatures exhibit a substantial dip from daytime highs during January, averaging at a refreshing 16.3°C (61.3°F).Heat index
In January, the average heat index is appraised at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
