WOW, that's an open ended question, Too hot? According to who, Or is it whom, but seeing that your from Ontario, and there's nearly NO shade there, I'd say yes.
Actually, the average temp in July is 89F, but I'm sure it can be quite a bit warmer.

But, it is a dry heat...

So is an oven 😉 😉

At 100 you can put me in my grave, dry heat or not! At about 55 I start thinking about a light jacket. Winter coats are reserved for walking the dog and other outside activity. Not a fan of cold weather but I'll take it any day over the heat.

Yup, you can't define "too hot".

We have been to the Badlands and Black Hills over 20 times. It does get hot in the Badlands but if you plan for the heat and drink plenty of water you will not have any problems. The Black Hills campgrounds range from bare bones to ultra luxurious. My preference is mid-priced. I love Chris' Camp near Spearfish, Kemp's Kamp near Keystone, and Steel Wheel Campground near Deadwood. We also use many of the State or National Forest Campgrounds, many of them have lakes to swim in if it gets hot.
I will admit that one time we were there and it hit 100 degrees at Keystone. We bugged out.

We have been to the Sturgis rally many times. Sometimes it is way too hot, even for this Florida boy ! Other times, it's cool, a few years ago, we had several inches of hail. Beautiful country.

over a quarter million people visit sturgis (just down the road) the first week in august,never heard a complaint about to hot or too may clothes.
if it is to hot just get up early and see the sights then sit in front of the a/c later in the heat of the day.

Last time I was there was in July 2019. Did not think it was too hot then.

There is usually a large difference between the Badlands and the Black Hills, as well as a difference between the southern hills and the northern hills.

We are usually much drier than what you are probably used to. West river (western South Dakota) is much drier than east river. The Missouri River sort of splits the state down the middle.

That being said, there is always a chance storms will change things in a very short time.

We lived in Rapid City for four years and one thing that was hard to predict was the weather. The only month we didn't have snow was July. But if you do have bad weather it will change quickly.

Define "too hot". For me much above 70 and I start to get uncomfortable. My sister doesn't get "too hot" until about 80 or so. Dry heat IS very different than wet heat. The two times I've been there it's been very dry. AND very hot-over 100 degrees in July/August.
