January weather forecast
Punggol, Singapore

In January, Punggol, Singapore experiences the typical tropical warm climate. The relatively high temperatures range from 24.6°C (76.3°F) to 29.7°C (85.5°F), welcoming tourists and locals alike. Humidity gets close to its peak in this period, adding stickiness to the already warm atmosphere. A slight dip in those factors in February should be anticipated, but not to a significant degree. January concludes with an increased likelihood of clouds, compared to the month that follows.

Temperature

Punggol's coldest weather arrives in January, when temperatures average a high of 29.7°C (85.5°F) and a low of 24.6°C (76.3°F).

Heat index

January's average heat index is estimated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Note: The UV index of 7 during January translates into the following guidance:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
