Temperature

The onset of January notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), subtly shifted from December's 31°C (87.8°F). During January, the nighttime temperature averages to a pleasant 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in January is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

UV index

January through March, May through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In January, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
