Nofou records an average high-temperature of a still very hot 37.1°C (98.8°F) in January, maintaining a close correlation with December's 35.3°C (95.5°F). The month of January sees a significant daily temperature drop, recording an average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during January is evaluated at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential.

Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
