Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival sees a mild rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's agreeable 73°F (22.8°C) to a warm 80.6°F (27°C). May nights in Dimmitt present a sharp contrast to daytime highs, with average temperatures of 56.5°F (13.6°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be 80.6°F (27°C). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
