Weather in January
Temperature
Namu's transition from December to January introduces an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), marking an insignificant variation from the 31.2°C (88.2°F). Namu temperatures generally rest at a low of 20.7°C (69.3°F) during the January nights.Heat index
The heat index value for January is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in January is 63%.Rainfall
January is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 14.8 days and accumulates 74mm (2.91") of precipitation.Daylight
The average length of the day in January is 13h and 4min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:06 and sunset at 19:17. On the last day of January, sunrise is at 06:25 and sunset at 19:19 CAT.
Sunshine
January has the least sunshine of the year, with an average of 9h of sunshine.UV index
In Namu, the average daily maximum UV index in January is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: In January, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. 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. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
