Temperature

The start of January sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 30.9°C (87.6°F), showing little difference from December's 30.2°C (86.4°F). In January, Kuala Nerang's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 21.4°C (70.5°F) during the night.

Heat index

During January, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In January, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
