Weather in January
Temperature
The ushering in of January brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), closely mirroring the 28.5°C (83.3°F) of December. The average nighttime temperature lowers to a pleasant 20.8°C (69.4°F) throughout January.Heat index
For most parts of January, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In January, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. 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. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
