In Mesa, the average high-temperature in January slightly decreases from a tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F) in December to a moderately hot 28.3°C (82.9°F). Mesa records an average nighttime low-temperature of 21°C (69.8°F) throughout January.

Heat index

January's average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

In January, the average relative humidity is 89%.

Rainfall

January is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 26.1 days and accumulates 187mm (7.36") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The month with the least sunshine is January, with an average of 6.2h of sunshine.

UV index

January through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 during January translates into the following directions:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
