January weather forecast
El Tocuyo, Venezuela

January introduces a new year of weather in El Tocuyo, Venezuela and is marked by fairly stable conditions. The overall climate is characterized by a blend of warm temperatures and modest rainfall, keeping the atmosphere relatively humid. January's humidity significantly impacts the feel of the air, with dew often apparent in the mornings. From a comparative perspective, an uptick in the temperature and a slight decrease in rain are expected in the coming month. The month of January experiences the highest wind gust speeds reaching up to 13.6km/h (8.5mph), making it one of the windier months in El Tocuyo.

Temperature

The commencement of January introduces an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. El Tocuyo, in January, experiences a marked contrast from daytime zeniths to a steady average low-temperature of 18.3°C (64.9°F).

Heat index

January's average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative 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. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

UV index

January, February, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In January, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
