January weather forecast
Lombo, Congo

January, the same as December, is another warm summer month in Lombo, Congo, with an average temperature varying between 25.3°C (77.5°F) and 29.3°C (84.7°F).

Temperature

The introduction of January sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), hardly deviating from December. January nights witness a mild cool down to an average low of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during January is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in January translates into this advice:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
