The highest rainfall for the year can be attributed to this month with a mean value of 226mm (8.9") over approximately 28 days. Comparative to December, January displays a slight increase in temperature, prominent cloud cover and stronger gusts of wind.

Temperature

The advent of January brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Nights in January showcase an average temperature of 27.3°C (81.1°F), slightly cooler than the daytime.

Heat index

The heat index in January is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
