Temperature

Campeche's coldest month, January, generally records average temperatures ranging from a high of 27.2°C (81°F) to a low of 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in January is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in January in Campeche is 75%.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in January leads to these recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Be careful! The Sun's UV radiation is accentuated by reflecting off sand and water.
