Drifting into the new year, Masi-Manimba's weather brings a fair amount of rainfall, typical of the surrounding months. A gentle ocean breeze helps keep the relative humidity manageable, and there are still plenty of daylight hours for outdoor activity.

The average high-temperature in January, at a hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), reveals a modest deviation from December's 29.6°C (85.3°F). In Masi-Manimba, January nights witness a steady temperature drop to a pleasant 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

In January, the average heat index is evaluated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
