Weather in January
Temperature
January records an average high-temperature of a hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. The mean low-temperature during January nights is a warm 23.4°C (74.1°F).Heat index
January's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: The UV index of 7 during January translates into the following guidance:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
