Badlands & Custer SP. Difference in June vs August?
Our two options to visit Custer SP and the Badlands next year are the third week of June or the end of August. Is there any difference or advantage or disadvantage with either time frame? Thanks

WOW.
Please let me help about weather and crowds in the Black Hills.
June is our wet month with higher humidity, showers to rains that may last an hour or 2 early in the month, tending to occasional local T' storms later, say about the 3-4 weeks. July to early August is our challenging time where temps may reach 97f, a day or two in the higher elevations, localized t'storms may produce hail or damaging winds. These are brief and spotty.
Temperatures in late June range from the mid 80s to high 60s days to 50s to high 30s nights.Extremely changeable.
August is more stable and dryer with a lower chance of severe weather. Temps after Sturgis Rally time vary from high 80s to mid 60s days, 50s to low 40s nights.
ALERT There is no normal
Please do not let this scare you. what i've described are rare events that are fleeting, even memorable. Any local will help you know what tomorrow will bring.
Enjoy!
