Temperature

The introduction of January notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F) from December's 32.7°C (90.9°F). An average low-temperature of 21.7°C (71.1°F) is common during the nights of January.

Heat index

In January, the average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. 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. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity are January and February, with an average relative humidity of 57%.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in January translates into the following recommendations:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage. Take note! The UV strength of the Sun elevates when reflected off water and sand.
