The start of Meteorological Summer is approaching and it will definitely feel like it going into the weekend. An upper-level ridge will move in and boost highs across KELOLAND into the 80s. As we flip the calendar on Sunday, how often is it that we see temperatures at or above 80 on June 1st?

With averages currently ranging from the low 70s West River to the mid 70s East River, it is not extremely common. If we take a look into the record books, June has started off in the 80s only about 35% of the time for Sioux Falls. Aberdeen and Pierre were similar near 31%.

Although Sioux Falls was just shy of 80 on June 1st 2024, Pierre and Aberdeen reached lower 80s. Rapid City had the lowest frequency, with the most recent 80-degree reading on June 1st occurring in 2020. They reached 86 degrees, which was the second warmest June 1st on record.

While the warmth will create a great weekend for outdoor plans, cooler and more unsettled weather looks to arrive early next week.
