Weather in January
Temperature
The coldest temperatures occur during January, when averages reach a peak of 27.3°C (81.1°F) and a low of 24°C (75.2°F).Heat index
In January, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 30°C (86°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
