🌡 The weather here, in general

Independence runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 88°F, while January nights average 23°F — a 65-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.

The thermometer rarely spikes — only about 29 days a year top 90°F — but it hardly needs to. Summer sits in the mid-eighties for months at a stretch, and with humidity on top of it the heat index runs well above what the air temperature suggests.

Snow shows up most years — about 15 inches — but rarely in quantity. 87 freezing nights a year matter more, because the risk here is ice rather than depth.

Rainfall averages about 45 inches a year, wettest in May and driest in February.
