Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Gillette, is another warm month, with an average temperature ranging between max 84°F (28.9°C) and min 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Temperature

May commences with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C), showing little deviation from April's 79.9°F (26.6°C). Throughout May, Gillette encounters an average temperature drop to a pleasant 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.

For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
