Much of the state has endured a multi-day heat wave this week. Is this normal? Have the temperatures broken any records?
We ask Todd Heitkamp, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service Sioux Falls, to talk us through the heat dome.
He discusses what's causing the high temperatures, why these waves are normal this time of year and how people can stay safe.
