2023 Spring In Kansas Is Expected To Be Cold And Wet

Weather in the Sunflower State is famously unpredictable, and that’s doubly true for spring. It seems like some years, spring in Kansas means shorts and t-shirts, and other years we end up with exceptionally long winters resulting in weeks of frigid weather. When winter starts to roll around each year, many people look to the Farmers’ Almanac for their long-range predictions. For over 200 years, the Farmers’ Almanac has been using a proprietary formula based on tidal patterns, planetary movements, and history to predict winter weather all across the United States and Canada. Most people don’t know that the Farmers’ Almanac also releases an annual spring prediction, though. Let’s see what the 2023 spring in Kansas is set to be like:

When depicted in popular media, spring often appears as a time of greenery, fresh flowers, and sunshine.

While that’s often the case, the season just as frequently brings about lots of rain, thunderstorms, and sometimes even tornadoes.

Spring officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere on March 20, but this year, you might have to wait a little while after that to see warmer temperatures in Kansas. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts a cooler-than-usual spring that will be extremely wet, with lots of thunderstorms.

The Farmers’ Almanac is expecting a “shivery, soggy” spring that may not get warm until late April.

But just remember: April showers bring May flowers. Even if we do see a stormy spring, the resplendent blooms and greenery that will follow will make all the bad weather worth it!
