Weather in January

Kitulgala's average high-temperature marks a still moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F) with the advent of January, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. Throughout January, Kitulgala witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 18.8°C (65.8°F).Heat index
In January, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
