January weather forecast
Ilobu, Nigeria

January, like December, in Ilobu, Nigeria, is another torrid winter month, with an average temperature varying between 36.6°C (97.9°F) and 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Temperature

January notes an average high-temperature of a still very hot 36.6°C (97.9°F), subtly differing from December's 35.6°C (96.1°F). In January, the recorded average low-temperature in Ilobu, of 20.3°C (68.5°F), exhibits a significant fall from the daytime highs.

Heat index

January's heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The least humid month in Ilobu, Nigeria, is January, with an average relative humidity of 43%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Ilobu are January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during January translates into the following recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
