Earlier this year, we were in town in early March for six days. The first couple of days were cold and windy. The next couple were hot and extremely humid, with swirling hot and cold winds. From chilly to sweating in a matter of hours.
On our return, it was 75 and extremely windy and humid. We were stuck in the KCI airport for four hours due to tornadoes and rain in the area. Despite being 75, the HEAT was on at KCI and everyone, from airport restaurant employees to people waiting for flight were absolutely dripping in sweat.
I was told that the city controls the thermostat at KCI.
Neato.

I'm going back at the end of July and figured I'd suffocate then... what I didn't realize was the humidity would bug me a few weeks ago when it was only 65-70 out.
Sure, my skin is flaking off here and I now have a whole skin regime thing, but that whole weekend was just... sticky.
I'll click on KC weather every once in a while since it's still a favorite on wunderground, and it's kind of amusing.... winter looked great compared to the 3rd Spring in a row where it just rained and rained and rained, I noticed there was one week where it looked perfect in the low 80s and sunny, and now it's in the low-mid 90s. Ouch.
We get 30+ degree swings here every day/night, but it's very consistent day to day.... we've had weeks where it's in the low-mid 60s early in the morning and low-mid 80s in the afternoon. And it's always sunny (and without DST, it's sunny at like 4:45am, heh).
