Weather in January
Temperature
In January, the shift in Alexishafen's meteorological conditions is hardly detectable, with high temperatures identical to those of December. Nightly temperatures drop to an average low of 24.1°C (75.4°F) in January.Heat index
During January, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Sunshine
In Alexishafen, Papua New Guinea, the average sunshine in January is 8h.UV index
January through March, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during January translates into the following recommendations:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
