January weather forecast
Pokigron, Suriname

Although January in Pokigron, Suriname, offers mild conditions compared to the following months, residents might experience considerable levels of humidity. This initial month is characterized by relative serenity compared to the later months, where the weather situation starts to elevate. A constant daytime and night-time temperature difference, wind speed, and UV index remain fairly stable throughout. The precipitation during this time is rather consistent, reaching 86mm (3.39"), making January one of the wetter months of the year. Going into February, the weather condition remains largely the same except for a slight escalation in certain areas.

Temperature

The shift to January in Pokigron signals an average high-temperature of a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), subtly varied from December's 30.9°C (87.6°F). In the month of January, the nighttime temperature in Pokigron dips to a steady average of 20.7°C (69.3°F).

Heat index

January's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
