For January, the heat index is estimated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
