Weather in January
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Avu's average high-temperature is noted with the start of January, touching a tropical 30°C (86°F) from December's 27.6°C (81.7°F). An average low-temperature of 18.1°C (64.6°F) is noted during the month of January.Heat index
January's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
