Climate Chart of Topeka, USA

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures reach their highest point in July at 26.4 °C, while the lowest monthly mean is in January at -0.3 °C. These are month-level averages, not daytime highs or lows, so they describe the broader temperature pattern rather than the range visitors may experience within a day. The unweighted mean across monthly temperature means is 13.5 °C; it summarizes the calendar-month averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in May at 4.98 mm/day, and lowest in January at 0.72 mm/day. These are daily average amounts associated with each month, not monthly rainfall totals, and they do not show how often rain occurs or how it is distributed across individual days. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly daily-rainfall averages is 2.49 mm/day. That figure gives a broad summary, but it cannot describe the timing or intensity of particular rain events.

Sunshine

Average daily sunshine duration is greatest in June at 11.85 hours/day and lowest in December at 6.23 hours/day. These averages can help indicate differences in sunshine available for outdoor plans, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine averages is 8.89 hours/day per day, a summary of monthly means rather than a day-weighted annual figure.

Snow

Snowfall averages are highest in February at 4.03 mm/day per day. The mean of the monthly daily-snowfall averages is 1.04 mm/day per day; these daily means should not be read as monthly totals.
