Weather in January
Temperature
The shift into January reveals an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.2°C (84.6°F), closely mirroring December's climate. Nighttime temperatures consistently average a still warm 24°C (75.2°F) during January.Heat index
The heat index in January is calculated to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
