It's official, the summer of 2011 will go down in the records books as the hottest summer in Wichita! The good news is that it appears cooler days are just around the corner!
Although multiple records were broken this year, the two that stand out the most are the number of days over 100 degrees (currently at 52) and the average daily maximum temperature. The average daily max is the average high temp from June 1st to August 31st. During this time period our average daily max was 98.3 degrees. To put that in perspective, the 6th hottest summer was a full 4 degrees cooler than the summer of 2011.
The good news is, with cooler temps on the way, its safe to say we have survived the record breaking heat wave of 2011.
