Weather in January
Temperature
Udugampola records a slight change with January's average high-temperatures adjusting to a hot 30.8°C (87.4°F) from December's 29.9°C (85.8°F). An average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) is anticipated throughout the nights during January.Heat index
The heat index value during January is appraised at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in January converts into the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
