On July 6, 1936 maximum temperatures in the Dakotas averaged a mind boggling 110 degrees. A day earlier Gann Valley, SD had hit 120 degrees.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Those danged SUV’s have NOT stopped!
Temperatures in the high 100s are definitely nothing new in South Dakota. I was in Rapid City, South Dakota on July 6, 1973 when it hit 110 degrees. My truck had no air conditioning, but even so, I had to keep the windows up. At 60 mph, the hot wind was actually painful when it came in the window. Better to keep them closed, even at 110 degrees.
It was 120 degrees in 1936.
110 was bad enough — I can’t imagine what 120 would be like. In addition, in 1973, while my truck had no air conditioning, many of the houses and shops did. 120 in an area without even the temporary relief of air conditioning is a recipe for death by heat stroke.
No fun riding a motorcycle in 120 degree wind.
