Climate Insight: Norwich, KS

An annual average temperature of 57°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 69°F to a mean daily low of 45°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Norwich, Kansas. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00145870 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

The frost-free season averages 200 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near April 12 and the first fall freeze near October 29.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Norwich scores 78/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for January-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
