Thailand, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.2°C (84.6°F) and 16.3°C (61.3°F).
Temperature
The beginning of January records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), marking a negligible difference from December's 28.6°C (83.5°F). Sakon Nakhon receives a consistent average low-temperature of 16.3°C (61.3°F) in January, a substantial dip from the day's heat.
Heat index
January's mean heat index is computed to be a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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.
