Weather in January
Temperature
January and December are known as Madurankuli's coldest months, with an average high-temperature of 29.3°C (84.7°F).Heat index
For January, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
