Weather in May
Temperature
As May arrives, a slight rise in the average high-temperature is observed, moving from a pleasant 72.5°F (22.5°C) in April to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). Sheridan, during the month of May, experiences an average low-temperature of 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
