Weather in January
Temperature
January's arrival in Buka shows an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.5°C (83.3°F), hardly different from the previous month. Buka's nights throughout January are marked by an average low temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F), a minor drop from the day's high.Heat index
Throughout January, the heat index is estimated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
