Weather in January

As the new year begins in Koumassi, Ivory Coast, January introduces high levels of humidity, reflective of its tropical monsoon climate. While temperatures remain consistent, changes are discernible in the sky, specifically the cloud cover. A significant aspect of the January weather, the cloud cover averages at 23%, making it one of the months with the least cloud density. Notably, this results in longer sunshine durations. However, despite these cute sunny days, the lower wind speeds characterized by an average of 11.2km/h (7mph) introduce an element of weak breeziness to the atmosphere.

Temperature

Koumassi's average high-temperature marks a tropical 30.4°C (86.7°F) with the advent of January, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. Koumassi's nighttime temperatures in January see a subtle dip to an average of 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

In January, the average heat index is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
