Weather and Building Across the State

Heat

Ulysses has the most hot days of all 65 Kansas places listed here: about 73 days a year at or above 90°F (NOAA normals, Ulysses 3NE, KS station). 24 of 65 listed places reach 90°F on 60 or more days a year, and 30 average 10 or more days at 100°F. For most of the state, heat is a summer-month issue rather than a constant one.

Freezing Nights and Snow

Colby has the most freezing nights of all 65 Kansas places listed here: about 164 nights a year at or below 32°F (NOAA normals, Colby 1SW, KS station). 17 of 65 listed places average 120 or more freezing nights, when water-carrying units need winterizing or heat for months at a time. Dodge City has the most snowfall of the 22 listed Kansas places with this figure: about 19 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals, Dodge City, KS station). None of the 22 places with snowfall normals average 20 inches or more, enough to plan for a plowed path to the units.

Rain

Pittsburg and Fort Scott share the most precipitation of all 65 Kansas places listed here: about 46 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA normals, Joplin 24 N, MO station). 2 of 65 listed places get 46 inches or more, or 12 or more days with an inch, so firm ground for units and ADA routes matters.

New and Older Housing

Spring Hill has the highest share of recent housing of the 51 listed Kansas places with this figure: 43.4% of housing units built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024). 14 of 51 listed places are above the U.S. share of 11.4%. That describes the housing stock, not current permits, but it shows where new-home construction has been concentrated; OSHA's toilet table applies to every one of those job sites. Fort Scott has the oldest housing of the 64 listed Kansas places with this figure: a median year built of 1946 (ACS 2020–2024). 28 of 64 listed places have a median year built of 1970 or earlier, where renovation crews in existing buildings are the usual job site.

Climate Regions

Listed places by DOE Building America climate region (county-level, PNNL guide to IECC 2021 zones): Mixed-Humid (64), Cold (1). A state spanning several regions means the right advice depends on the city, which is why each city page has its own figures.

Who Handles Event and Street-Use Rules

Of the 65 Kansas places listed here, 64 are incorporated cities, towns, villages or boroughs and 1 are Census-designated places, unincorporated communities without a municipal government. The rule of thumb for an event on public land or a unit on a street or sidewalk: in an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough government; in an unincorporated community, ask the town or township it sits in, or the county. We do not say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
