Weather in January
Temperature
At the onset of January, Minuwangoda records an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Minuwangoda experiences a nighttime temperature average of 22.8°C (73°F) during January.Heat index
The average heat index in January is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, July, September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: During January, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
