Heat index

January's mean heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
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 on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through June, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In January, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
