Weather in January
Temperature
The warmest time of the year is January, with temperatures averaging a high of 28°C (82.4°F) and a low of 16.7°C (62.1°F).Heat index
The heat index value for January is computed to be 28°C (82.4°F). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
