May in Rustenburg, South Africa, brings average daily highs of 24°C and overnight lows of 9°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Pack clothes you can layer as conditions change. The average leaves room for both warmer and cooler days, so a flexible walking plan is more useful than deciding every outdoor stop before you arrive.
In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 2 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 7%. Rain has been relatively infrequent in this record, which leaves more scope for an outdoor plan. Still keep an alternative for a wet day: a low monthly average cannot tell you when the rain will arrive.
The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 11 hours. Sunshine averages 10 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.
For nature trips or walks, keep the longest outings movable and check route conditions locally; a monthly climate average cannot establish whether a particular path is accessible.
June has an average daily high of 22°C, 2°C lower than May. Its historical rain-day chance is 3%, compared with 7% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
