A rare February for Wichita — so far

This is only the third February since 1950 to have at least six straight days with temperatures of at least 65 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The only other two years to accomplish that feat were 1996 and 1976.

Interestingly, those two years accomplished it late in the month: from Feb. 19-25 in 1996 and Feb. 23-28 in 1976.

In 2009, the dates were Feb. 5-10.
