Weather in January

The heat index value for January is appraised at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
