Weather in January
Temperature
December's transformation into January witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. Throughout the nights in January, Kuala Lumpur experiences an average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F).Heat index
The heat index in January is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
