Weather in January
Temperature
The shift into January uncovers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F), subtly different from the previous month. Menka, during the nights of January, registers a substantial plunge from the daytime high, averaging at a mild 14.3°C (57.7°F).Heat index
The heat index for January is computed to be 29°C (84.2°F). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 41%, January is the least humid month.Rainfall
The month with the least rainfall is January, when the rain falls for 2.5 days and typically collects 6mm (0.24") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In January, the average sunshine is 9.9h.UV index
January through March, with an average maximum UV index of 6, 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 average person.Note: In January, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
