January, the same as
December, in
Takua Pa District,
Thailand, is another tropical winter month, with an average temperature ranging between min 21.5°C (70.7°F) and max 32.8°C (91°F).
Temperature
Upon the beginning of January, Takua Pa District's high-temperatures register at a still hot 32.8°C (91°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. During the nights in January, the temperature averages to a pleasant 21.5°C (70.7°F).
Heat index
January's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
