Temperature

January, on average, is the coldest month, registering a high temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 hold great significance to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
