Weather in January
Temperature
The advent of January signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F), aligning closely with December. During the month of January, the temperature falls to an average of 21.8°C (71.2°F).Heat index
January's mean heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 are of high significance for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The UV index of 7 during January translates into the following guidance:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
