Weather in January
Temperature
The advent of January brings an average high-temperature of a hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Mattakkuliya's average low-temperature in the month of January is recorded at a moderately hot 23.1°C (73.6°F).Heat index
The heat index in January is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
