How cold will fall be in Kansas City? See what the National Weather Service predicts
Kansas City is now getting a taste of cooler fall weather, with temperatures topping out in the 80s a few days this week. But the mild weather won’t stick around.
This summer, Kansas City’s temperatures have been “a smidge above normal,” according to Hallie Bova, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Kansas City.
From May through July, the hottest day of the year was June 24, when temperatures rose to 102 degrees. It was the only triple-digit day so far. By this time last year, the city had hit 100 four times.
What will the weather be like this fall?
September, October, and November are predicted to have temperatures slightly above normal, alongside normal precipitation, Bova said.
“We are abnormally dry right now,” Bova said.
If the low rainfall totals continue, Kansas and Missouri could experience a drought.
Here are the typical temperatures for downtown Kansas City during the fall:
September: high of 80, low of 71
October: high of 68, low of 58
November: high of 55, low of 45
