Weather in January
Temperature
The arrival of January marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a tropical 31°C (87.8°F) from December's 29.8°C (85.6°F). During January, the nighttime temperature averages to an agreeable 21.9°C (71.4°F).Heat index
During January, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 7 during January leads to these advisories:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
