Temperature

The onset of January manifests an average high-temperature of a still very hot 36.2°C (97.2°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Okpofe sees a consistent average low-temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) in January, indicating a substantial decrease from the day's temperature.

Heat index

January's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
