Temperature

The warmest period tends to be January, when average temperatures fluctuate between a high of 32.7°C (90.9°F) and a low of 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
