Weather in January

Come January, Owo, Nigeria sees a mix of high temperatures, moderate rainfall, and comparatively less cloud cover. More often than not, cool breezes in the 5.4km/h (3.4mph) range provide a reprieve from the high temperatures that can peak at 36.6°C (97.9°F). January stands as the gateway to the year, its weather marking the transition out of December's relatively cool climate and dipping into the hotter, more humid months that lie ahead. Additionally, the relatively high UV index in this month calls for ample sun protection measures for both locals and tourists alike. Lastly, despite a sharp fall from December's average 9.9 hours, sunshine duration in January remains high enough to light up the city landscapes and the spirits of the locals.

Temperature

Owo's warmest period falls in January and February, when the average high-temperatures ascend to 36.6°C (97.9°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in January is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
