Weather in January

Heat index

January's heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
