Weather in January

January, like December, is another tropical winter month in San Felipe, Guatemala, with an average temperature varying between 31.1°C (88°F) and 19.6°C (67.3°F).

Temperature

The average high-temperature in January, at a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), reveals a modest deviation from December's 30.5°C (86.9°F). San Felipe, during the month of January, experiences an average low-temperature of 19.6°C (67.3°F).

Heat index

For January, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
