Temperature

January's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a tropical 30°C (86°F), diverging marginally from December's 29.4°C (84.9°F). In the month of January, Para witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in January is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. 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. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
