The unfolding of January shows an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), indicating a slight variance from December's 30.5°C (86.9°F). An average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) is anticipated throughout the nights during January.

Heat index

January's heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. 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. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

UV index

January, August and September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during January translates into these guidelines:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
