Weather in January
Temperature
The advent of January observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F), nearly identical to December's 29.3°C (84.7°F). During January, an average low-temperature of 18.1°C (64.6°F) is observed.Heat index
The heat index value for January is calculated to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
