Temperature

Kabba experiences a transition to a still sweltering 36°C (96.8°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of January, not greatly differing from December's 35°C (95°F). Despite substantial daily fluctuations, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 20.5°C (68.9°F) during January.

Heat index

In January, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

UV index

Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during January morphs into the following directions:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
