Weather in January
Temperature
The onset of January brings with it an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Baddegama witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) throughout January.Heat index
In January, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
