January weather forecast
Ansina, Uruguay

Ansina, Uruguay, ushers in the new year with January's warm weather, characterized by high humidity and clear skies. The month's weather holds firm in its tropical nature, with a high temperature reaching up to 30.4°C (86.7°F). The warmth is complemented by an average daylight duration of 14 hours, encouraging outdoor activities. Locals and tourists can anticipate a relatively rain-free month, though cloud cover is expected for less than a third of the month. The tropical winds provide a nice contrast to the warm temperatures and add to January's distinct climate.

Temperature

January, with average temperatures reaching a high of 30.4°C (86.7°F) and a low of 18.2°C (64.8°F), is the warmest month.

Heat index

During January, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

January is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 65%.

Rainfall

January is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 11.8 days and accumulates 107mm (4.21") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in January is 9.7h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through March and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during January translates into the following directions:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
