Climate Data Table
This table gives historical average temperatures and precipitation data for various points in and around the Black Hills and elsewhere in South Dakota.You may notice that average temperatures can vary greatly among cities that are fairly close together -- for instance, Keystone (Mt. Rushmore) and Rapid City. These variations are due to differences in elevations and the proximity to mountains. In general, points on the plains have greater temperature extremes than those in the mountains and points on the windward sides of the Black Hills (north and west) have more moisture than points on the leeward sides (south and east).
