January weather forecast
El Rincon, Panama

January, the same as December, in El Rincon, Panama, is another tropical winter month, with an average temperature ranging between max 32.1°C (89.8°F) and min 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Temperature

During January, El Rincon observes a subtle ascent to a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F) from December's 30.3°C (86.5°F) in the average high-temperature. Throughout January, an average low-temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F) is expected.

Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. 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.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in January is 74%.

UV index

January through June and September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in El Rincon. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in January converts into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
