July firmly establishes itself as the zenith of summer in
Kansas, with both temperatures and sunshine reaching their peak for the year. During this month, the state is subjected to temperatures that oscillate between 70°F (21.1°C) to 95°F (35°C). This consistent warmth, slightly more intense than
June, embodies the true essence of a Kansas summer.
Rainfall continues its descent in July, though thunderstorms can still punctuate the mostly dry landscape. The western expanses of Kansas might witness rainfall measurements between 1.5" (38mm) to 3" (76mm), while the eastern portions, given their intrinsic humidity, could record figures from 3" (76mm) to 5" (127mm). Despite the drop in precipitation, the residual moisture and elevated temperatures can occasionally collaborate to produce sultry conditions, especially in the eastern areas.
The winds of summer, though not as dominant as the Chinook winds of the colder months, still play an essential role in modulating July's heat. These breezes, while temperate, offer a respite from the intensity of the midday sun, especially in the vast plains where shade can be a rarity.
Northwestern Kansas, despite the overarching warmth, can at times present slightly cooler nights. This nocturnal relief, accentuated by the higher altitudes, contrasts with the southern zones where warmth remains more uniform throughout the 24-hour cycle.
A defining trait of July in Kansas is the sun. The state revels in abundant sunshine, averaging nearly its maximum possible sunlight hours for the year. With long days and minimal cloud cover, Kansas landscapes, from its plains to its hills, glow under the radiant sun. This sunny disposition, combined with the robust growth facilitated by earlier rains, results in the blooming of the state's iconic sunflowers, painting golden hues across vast fields and solidifying July's reputation as a quintessential summer month in the Sunflower State.
