Weather in January
Temperature
Thelangapatha, Sri Lanka, experiences an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F) in January, subtly different from December's 29.9°C (85.8°F). An average minimum temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) marks the month of January.Heat index
The average heat index in January is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
