Temperature

Temperature readings reach their annual highs in January, averaging 33.7°C (92.7°F) and a minimum average of 22°C (71.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during January is appraised at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
