Weather in January
Temperature
The shift into January reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), closely mirroring December's climate. In January, Unión Oriental reports a consistent average low-temperature of 20.1°C (68.2°F) during the nights.Heat index
The heat index for January is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
