January weather forecast
Soalala, Madagascar

January, like December, is another tropical summer month in Soalala, Madagascar, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30.5°C (86.9°F) and 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Temperature

January brings a marginal elevation to a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F) from December's 32.6°C (90.7°F) in Soalala's average high-temperatures. Soalala experiences a steady low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F) throughout January.

Heat index

In January, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. 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. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

UV index

Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
