Weather in January
Temperature
Galahitiyawa, Sri Lanka, marks the arrival of January with an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), hardly different from December's 29.9°C (85.8°F). Galahitiyawa records a consistent low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) during January nights.Heat index
The heat index for January is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
