Weather in January
Temperature
January's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. January's nights observe an average temperature of 20.6°C (69.1°F).Heat index
During January, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

The months with the lowest UV index are January through April, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: During January, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
