The mercury is expected to reach 90 today, and Memorial Day’s still a week away yet. As early as that may seem, it’s a far cry from the earliest date for that temperature in Wichita history.
You’ll have to go all the way back to March for the earliest date to reach 90. On March 19, 1907, the thermometer reached 91.
Fret not, though: despite today’s toasty reading, forecasters say it doesn’t mean spring’s already history. Cooler temperatures are on tap for the rest of the week.
