Weather in January
Temperature
The arrival of January denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F) from December's 31.6°C (88.9°F). In the month of January, the average temperature dips to a refreshing 19.9°C (67.8°F) during the night.Heat index
January's heat index is evaluated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
