Weather in January
Temperature
With the onset of January, Tshikana's average high-temperature clocks in at a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Tshikana witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 20.4°C (68.7°F) throughout January.Heat index
During January, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
