Rainy days and Riverfest

Whenever May storms threaten the Wichita River Festival, people start urging that the event be moved to June to avoid wet weather. National Weather Service stats don’t support a move, though: As of Tuesday, Wichita had seen rain seven days this month, compared with eight days in all of May. Last year, it rained 16 days in June and seven in May. There may be reasons to give up on May, most notably the crush of end-of-school activities, but rain isn’t one of them.

    Hey folks, this is Kansas! This is where they send meteorologists who get too cocky and think they can actually predict weather!
    Whenever any event that requires good weather is planned, Murphy’s Law will be there to get in the way! We Kansans should have resigned ourselves to that a long time ago.
