Weather in January
Temperature
Transitioning into January, Bésoukoudou records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), almost identical to December's 31.6°C (88.9°F). Throughout January, an average low-temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) is experienced in Bésoukoudou, Cameroon.Heat index
In January, the average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
