Weather in January
Temperature
The shift into January uncovers an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F), subtly different from the previous month. A noticeable temperature swing characterizes Okola's January nights, dipping to an average of 19.8°C (67.6°F).Heat index
The heat index value during January is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
