Two of the most significant weather records on the books were rewritten in Wichita this year: most rain overall and most rain in a 24-hour period.
But 10 other weather records fell this year, according to the National Weather Service data.
Not surprisingly, the majority of them involved rainfall. February 5, March 17, May 26 and August 9 all set records for most rain for that date.
Just last Friday saw a new record high in Wichita for the day after Christmas: 69, snapping the old record of 64 set in 1976.
May 23, June 7 and November 4 set marks for warmest low temperatures. Records for coolest high temperature, meanwhile, were set on back-to-back days: September 5 and 6. Not surprisingly, the new marks were only one degree apart – 63 on the 5th and 62 on the 6th.
