January weather forecast
Musese, Namibia

January, the same as December, in Musese, Namibia, is another hot summer month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 20.7°C (69.3°F) and 30.5°C (86.9°F).

Temperature

The introduction of January notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F) from December's 31.2°C (88.2°F). The nighttime temperature dips to a pleasant 20.7°C (69.3°F) on average during January.

Heat index

January's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in January is 63%.

UV index

In January, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: An average UV index of 6 in January transforms into this advice:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
