Weather in January

Avatoru ushers in the new year with weather patterns similar to those of December: warm and humid. As rainfall totals 163mm (6.42"), showers do likely punctuate the day. Despite the drizzle, one can expect relatively gentle breezes from 21.5km/h (13.4mph) wind speeds. On sunnier days, though scarce, Avatoru becomes a paradise for sunbathers seeking the warmth of the tropics. Notwithstanding, the climate for January tends to verge on the warm, prompting increased humidity levels in the region.

Temperature

The start of January is marked by an average high temperature of a still warm 28.2°C (82.8°F), showing little divergence from December. January nights in Avatoru witness a slight temperature decrease, averaging at a still moderately hot 27.3°C (81.1°F).

Heat index

During January, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
