Rate the Climate: Kansas City (tornadoes, average, precipitation, storms)

C. A bit cold in winter, and too much summer humidity. Sunshine good of course.

[Ethereal]

E+

Continental tripe. Summers too hot and humid. Winters too cold. The reason it gets a plus is the fact that they have good sunshine. If both summer and winter are uncomfortable then they're no higher than an E rating.

Strange, how is NYC (with cooler winters and summers) Cfa and not this? Both are continental for me anyway, but I believe Koppen made a mistake here...

D+. Too warm year round.

B minus/C+. Surprising there are no As. Guess it's too offensive and doesn't satisfy the type required by those who like continental climes. Being near the Plains, I thought DP's would be OK, but nope, little different from D.C. area. Weak winters and horrific summers, but high winter sunshine is a welcome boost.

I accidentally voted A, I meant to click B.

Summers are too warm and winters aren't snowy enough. Otherwise it's good.

[Wildcat15]

D. Horrible cold winter and the summers are too dry and sunny.

[Bottletree]

D, too cold. They get temp swings in January.

[B87]

D. That winter is awful.

I give it a B+, it's one of my favourite climate. I love the diversity and the rainfall pattern. Spring and Summer should be a bit warmer and it would be one of the best climate of the world in my opinion.

Cold snowy winters, hot summers with chances of thunderstorms, good precipitation totals and a lot of sunshine, what's not to like ?

If I wanted to be picky, I'd say that the summers lows are a bit too high for me (but I'm thinking without A/C), and I prefer having rain more evenly distributed throughout the year, also I'm not sure about enjoying 25c dewpoints in mid summer, but overall it is an excellent case of a continental climate.

A- for me.
