Likoni, Kenya

January, the same as December, in Likoni, Kenya, is another hot summer month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.2°C (88.2°F) and 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Temperature

As December turns into January, the average high-temperatures rest at a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), showing a minor variation from the prior month. Likoni's average low-temperature in the month of January is recorded at a moderately hot 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
