Best time to visit Wichita

October is the best month in Wichita, scoring 86 out of 100, with January the weakest at 44. The 42-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only 3 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.

July is the warmest month at 34.2 °C and January the coolest at 6.5 °C — a 27.7 °C spread across the year. Around 90 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side. At the other end, 101 nights a year fall below freezing: the winter here is a real one.

There is a real wet season here. May to August carry the rain — up to 13 wet days in a month — while January, February, November and December drop as low as 3. That 10-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Wichita, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.6 hours in winter to 14.8 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are October, April, September. The one to think twice about is January. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
