Temperature

Heat index

The heat index in January is calculated to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Note: In January, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
