Like much of the rest of the country, summer in Rapid City saw many days with temperatures above normal. On this calendar, days temperatures reached 90 are outlined in yellow, while 100-degree days are denoted in orange.

East Rapid City reached the 90-degree mark for the first time on May 16. Since then, we have reached the 90-degree mark 51 times. We have reached the 100-degree mark 11 times.

In June, we spent about half of the days of the month with highs over 90. In July there was only a few days with highs below 90. August started off hot, but we experienced a cool week in the middle of the month before finishing warm.
