Beginning the year in
Roboré,
Bolivia, weather conditions can be characterized as hot, with humidity making the atmosphere noticeably muggy. The most salient weather traits are highs reaching up to 32.8°C (91°F) and rainfall measures peaking at 153mm (6.02"), indicating that the short, intense showers do not greatly alleviate the heat. As a result, the weather can pose challenges for travelers unaccustomed to such conditions. Compared to
February,
January features slightly higher temperatures and noticeably more rainfall, causing the month to possess its own distinct weather pattern.
Temperature
Roboré marks the arrival of January with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), hardly different from
December's 32.2°C (90°F). During January, Roboré consistently records a temperature low averaging a pleasant 22.2°C (72°F).
Heat index
The heat index in January is estimated at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F).
Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
