Weather in January
Temperature
January and February are the warmest months, with an average high-temperature of 34.8°C (94.6°F).Heat index
In January, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
