Forecast

Parsons, Kansas has a humid continental climate with big temperature differences between summer and winter. This affects air pressure, making it change a lot throughout the year.

In summer, hot air rises, making air pressure low, and bringing humid air from the Gulf of Mexico, causing thunderstorms and heavy rain. In winter, cold air sinks, making air pressure high, and bringing dry air from Canada, causing cold and clear skies.

Parsons's geography, being in the Great Plains, means it's far from the ocean's moderating influence, making temperature and air pressure changes more extreme. The city's low elevation also allows cold air to settle in winter.

In spring and fall, air pressure is more stable, bringing mild temperatures and gentle breezes. But in summer, the heat and humidity make air pressure drop, and in winter, the cold makes it rise.
