Weather in January

The transition from December to January sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. Bafut's nights during January are marked by a pronounced drop from daytime temperatures, experiencing an average low of 14.3°C (57.7°F).Heat index
In January, the heat index is calculated to be 29°C (84.2°F). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
