Weather in January
Temperature
In January, Kololi experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 30.3°C (86.5°F) in December to a moderately hot 29.1°C (84.4°F). During the month of January, an average temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) is noted during the nights.Heat index
Throughout January, the heat index is calculated to be 29°C (84.2°F). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
