Weather in January
Temperature
Welcoming January, Kongola notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), nearly consistent with December's 31.6°C (88.9°F). Kongola throughout January, experiences an average nighttime temperature of 20.4°C (68.7°F).Heat index
The heat index value during January is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
