Weather in January
Temperature
The arrival of January brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.4°C (81.3°F), closely following the temperature pattern of December. Chavuma anticipates an average minimum temperature of 19°C (66.2°F) in the month of January.Heat index
During January, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
