Weather in January
Temperature
As December transitions into January, Akalu notices a gentle rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F) to a still hot 33.2°C (91.8°F). Akalu records a pronounced decline from the day's peak to an average nighttime low-temperature of 19.2°C (66.6°F) throughout January.Heat index
Throughout January, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
