Piketberg in January observes a substantial swing from the daily highs, with average nighttime temperatures of 15.8°C (60.4°F).Heat index
January's average heat index is estimated at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
