Weather in January

January, the same as December, in Panamaram, India, is another tropical winter month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.1°C (88°F) and 20.8°C (69.4°F).

Temperature

The average high-temperature during January registers at a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. An average low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F) is noted during the nights in January.

Heat index

January's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In January, the average relative humidity is 68%.

Rainfall

In Panamaram, in January, it is raining for 5.8 days, with typically 8mm (0.31") of accumulated precipitation. In Panamaram, India, during the entire year, the rain falls for 244.4 days and collects up to 1839mm (72.4") of precipitation.

Sunshine

January and February, with an average of 9.9h of sunshine, are months with the most sunshine in Panamaram.

UV index

January through May and October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in January interprets into the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
