About Kansas
Kansas is geographically pretty much in the middle of the United States, roughly the same distance from the Pacific and the Atlantic. The climate is continental, with hot summers and relatively cold winters. Precipitation is relatively low, however, and agriculture has to be partially irrigated. Only the east of the state has higher rainfall. In the extreme southern and southeastern part of Kansas, the climate is already somewhat subtropical. The weather in the western part of the country can be mitigated by the Chinook wind in winter.
The average daily temperature is 18 degrees Celsius. It gets very hot here in the summer months. Temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius are not uncommon. Winters are cold and temperatures can quickly drop below eight degrees. The best time to travel to Kansas is in April and May, when everything is blooming, and in September and October.
