Kansas City Faces Short-Lived Fall Cool Down with Return of Summer Heat This Weekend

After experiencing mild fall weather in recent days, Kansas City is bracing for a significant change. Throughout the summer, the city saw temperatures slightly above the seasonal average, with a maximum of 102 degrees on the hottest day, June 24. This was the sole triple-digit day, whereas the previous year had already seen four such days by the same time.

Forecasts for the Upcoming Fall

Meteorologist Hallie Bova from the National Weather Service in Kansas City predicts that the temperatures in September, October, and November will be slightly higher than normal, with regular precipitation. However, she expressed concern over the current dry spell, warning that if it persists, Kansas and Missouri could face the threat of a drought.

As the city anticipates a return to hot weather, with temperatures expected to reach up to 97 from Friday through Monday, residents are advised to prepare for the soaring heat indices that may even reach the triple digits.
