Wichita Weather

Compared to the weather we have had the last few years, the recent snow and the cold temperatures seem out of the norm for the month of March.  In reality, this is probably more in line with our historical average.

Since weather records have been kept for our area, our average last spring frost (32 degrees and below) is April 11th.  Our average last spring freeze (28 degrees and below) is March 29th.  In fact, the 24 hour record snowfall total for the state was set in late March of 2009 when Pratt received 30" of snow.  Likewise, Wichita's highest single day snowfall total occurred in March of 1970.

Don't get me wrong, the winter of 2012-2013 had its share of records.  In total, the 29.8" of snow we received this winter is the 6th snowiest season on record.  The month of February total of 21.2" is the greatest monthly snowfall total on record. The 14.2" of snow back on February 21st is the second highest snowfall total for a single day.  To put this in perspective, our average seasonal snowfall total is 14.7".

All of this coming off of the hottest year on record.  Let's hope the cool temps continue to trend into the summer!
