Weather in January
Temperature
January and December, when the average high-temperature reaches 30.1°C (86.2°F), are the warmest months.Heat index
The heat index value for January is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
