Relief can be just a summer thunderstorm which can crop up in an instant away.
Nights in summer usually offer pleasant relief from the hot summer days. In the winter, Blue Northers arctic air billowing down unimpeded by the prairie can drop a thermometer 30 degrees in minutes. But winters are generally mild, with below-freezing temperatures occurring on an average of less than 25 days each year. Cold spells are usually of short duration, rarely lasting more than two days. Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, with a total annual average of 32.5 inches.
