How long since a 107 in Wichita?

A few weeks ago, Wichita recorded its first 100-degree day in June in more than 10 years.

When the thermometer reached 107 yesterday, I was curious how long it has been since Wichita reached such lofty levels.

Not long ago at all, as it turns out: the mercury reached 108, 108, 109 and 109 from July 17-20, 2006.

A week later, Wichita had a day that mirrored Tuesday: the temperature hit 105 on July 26 – and then it rained. The gauge at Mid-Continent Airport recorded .21 of an inch that day.

After Wichita reached 107 yesterday, showers moved through the metropolitan area. The airport recorded .01 of an inch of precipitation.

    I meant June. The 101 on June 25 was the first time Wichita had hit triple digits in June since 1998.

    Seems like it always rains after a very hot day.
