Missouri, with its diverse climate, keeps me on my toes. In January, I'm bundled up, bracing against cold winds, as temperatures hover around 30°F. Fast forward to July, and I'm in shorts, enjoying warm evenings with averages soaring to 79°F. Spring and fall? They're transitional, unpredictable. April showers and a mild 61°F make spring delightful, while October brings a crisp 59°F, perfect for pumpkin patches.

I've noticed, weather patterns here don't stick to the script. One day, I'm sipping hot cocoa, the next, searching for my sunglasses. This variability makes Missouri fascinating. Summers can get hot, occasionally hitting the 90s, urging everyone to find the nearest pool. Winters, on the other hand, dip below freezing, sometimes bringing snow that transforms the landscape into a winter wonderland.

Rainfall spreads out through the year, peaking in spring. It keeps our rivers flowing and forests green. For me, understanding Missouri's weather is about expecting the unexpected. Whether it's a sudden thunderstorm or an unseasonably warm day, there's always something new around the corner.
