Weather in January
Temperature
January brings a marginal elevation to a tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F) from December's 29.9°C (85.8°F) in Nkokosa's average high-temperatures. The temperature during January experiences a small drop from daytime peaks, recording an average of 25.5°C (77.9°F) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during January is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
Humidity
January is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 76%.Rainfall
The month with the least rainfall is January, when the rain falls for 14.6 days and typically collects 34mm (1.34") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In January, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
