Weather in January
Temperature
The introduction of January notes a subtle temperature variation to a hot 30°C (86°F) from December's 27.6°C (81.7°F). The temperature lowers to an average of 18.1°C (64.6°F) during January nights.Heat index
During January, the heat index is computed to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
