Weather in January
Temperature
Sharpeville witnesses the warmest weather in January, with temperatures averaging a high of 28°C (82.4°F) and a low of 16.1°C (61°F).Heat index
The heat index value during January is evaluated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
