Throughout January, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
