Temperature

Chinde's January showcases an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), hardly distinct from December's 31.9°C (89.4°F). During January, the average low-temperature is a moderately hot 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index in January is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
