Weather in January
Temperature
With the onset of January, a modest change to a still moderately hot 27.4°C (81.3°F) from December's 25.2°C (77.4°F) is noted in high-temperature. Gedeb, after hot January days, encounters a marked drop to an average nighttime temperature of 13.8°C (56.8°F).Heat index
January's mean heat index is computed to be 28°C (82.4°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
