Weather in January
Temperature
January's onset records an average high-temperature of a still hot 33°C (91.4°F), a near match to December's 31.6°C (88.9°F). Simití experiences a substantial decline from the daytime high temperatures in January, settling on an average low of 20.5°C (68.9°F).Heat index
During January, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity 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 great significance to children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
