Good day to die. When I got to Hell, it would feel about the same! :wink:
Of course, it's a dry heat. :lol:
That's some tough temps. How do the cows take that kind of heat without shade?Tap said:From the Rapid City Journal:
Record heatwave strikes
By Andrew Gorder, Journal Staff Writer
RAPID CITY -- Temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Saturday broke and tied all-time records throughout South Dakota.
The National Weather Service in Rapid City received reports of 120 degree temperatures in Usta in the northwest corner of the state, but the reports had not been officially confirmed by Saturday evening. If the reports are accurate, the temperature would tie the state record for high temperatures set in Gann Valley in 1936.
NWS meteorologist Jeff Johnson in Rapid City said temperatures reached 111 degrees at Rapid City Regional Airport, beating the previous record of 110 degrees set in 1989 and 1973.
Temperatures in downtown Rapid City missed the all-time record of 107 by one degree, Johnson said.
There were also record highs of 116 in Philip and 111 in Interior, and The Associated Press reported 115 degree temperatures in Pierre, 114 degrees in Mobridge and 108 in Mitchell.
"There were a few places where we didn't quite reach triple digits, but pretty much all of the prairie areas east river were well above the 100 degree mark," Johnson said.
Johnson said the sweltering temperatures and high winds will increase the already high level of fire danger. "We will still be at 'red flag' conditions tomorrow," Johnson said. "We probably won't see a cool down until the end of next week, so we still have several days of hot, dry weather ahead of us."
