Transitioning into January, Periya records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), almost identical to December's 30.7°C (87.3°F). Throughout January, Periya experiences a low-temperature average of 20.8°C (69.4°F).

Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
