The climate of Wichita (Kansas
- United States of America)
Wichita is a large city located in the southern part of Kansas in
Sedgwick County. Wichita is located on the banks of the Arkansas
River. The city was founded at the end of the 19th century. At the
beginning of the 20th century the city became the ‘Air Capital of the
World’, this because many aircraft builders can be found in the city.
The first Pizza Hut was opened here in 1958. Wichita has a warm
continental climate with long and warm to even hot summers and short
and cold winters. During the winter longer periods with subzero
temperatures are not uncommon. However, during most days temperatures
rise above freezing point. Summers are hot and wet which causes
humidity figures to be high. Wichita is located in Tornado Alley
please, bear this in mind when visiting the city.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
