January weather forecast
Endom, Cameroon

January, the same as December, in Endom, Cameroon, is another tropical winter month, with an average temperature varying between 17.5°C (63.5°F) and 32.8°C (91°F).

Temperature

The onset of January manifests an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.8°C (91°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. During January nights, Endom documents a marked contrast from daily highs, with an average temperature of 17.5°C (63.5°F).

Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. 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 hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

UV index

January and March, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during January morphs into the following directions:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
