January weather forecast
Tierra Bomba, Colombia

January, the same as December, in Tierra Bomba, Colombia, is another tropical winter month, with an average temperature varying between 25.8°C (78.4°F) and 30.8°C (87.4°F).

Temperature

January's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), barely different from December's 30.5°C (86.9°F). Throughout January, Tierra Bomba observes a steady low-temperature average of 25.8°C (78.4°F), reflecting a minor dip from daytime highs.

Heat index

In January, the average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in January is 73%.

Rainfall

In January, the rain falls for 3.7 days. Throughout January, 4mm (0.16") of precipitation is accumulated. In Tierra Bomba, during the entire year, the rain falls for 210.6 days and collects up to 1115mm (43.9") of precipitation.

Daylight

The average length of the day in January is 11h and 36min.
On the first day of January, sunrise is at 06:19 and sunset at 17:51. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 06:25 and sunset at 18:06 -05.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in January is 8.6h.

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Tierra Bomba. The months with the lowest UV index in Tierra Bomba are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in January translates into this advice:
Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
