Weather in January
Temperature
Gbawe's January average high-temperature settles at a still hot 33°C (91.4°F), showing a near match with the preceding month. Throughout January, Gbawe's nights cool down to an average of 24.2°C (75.6°F).Heat index
The heat index for January is appraised at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
