Temperature

The advent of January brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.1°C (91.6°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Throughout January, Kamuda braces for a considerable drop from daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 18.8°C (65.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index for January is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In January, the average relative humidity is 45%.

Rainfall

January is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 6.2 days and accumulates 19mm (0.75") of precipitation.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during January, leads to the following recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
