Weather in January
Temperature
With the start of January, Lodja measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F), not significantly differing from December's 30.4°C (86.7°F). Throughout January, Lodja witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F).Heat index
In January, the average heat index is calculated to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
Humidity
In Lodja, the average relative humidity in January is 74%.Rainfall
In January, the rain falls for 20.8 days. Throughout January, 75mm (2.95") of precipitation is accumulated. In Lodja, during the entire year, the rain falls for 208.5 days and collects up to 811mm (31.93") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In Lodja, the average sunshine in January is 8.5h.UV index
January, May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during January leads to these instructions:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
