January weather forecast
Ososo, Nigeria

January, the same as December, is another torrid winter month in Ososo, Nigeria, with an average temperature fluctuating between 20.5°C (68.9°F) and 36°C (96.8°F).

Temperature

January's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 36°C (96.8°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. A marked difference from the daytime temperatures, Ososo's nighttime temperature falls to an average low of 20.5°C (68.9°F) in January.

Heat index

January's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

The least humid month is January, with an average relative humidity of 40%.

Rainfall

UV index

January through April, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during January translates into the following directions:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
