Wichita in November
Good time to visit
November offers a pleasant start but winter creeps in quickly. Early in the month provides excellent weather, but by Thanksgiving you're looking at genuine cold and the need for winter clothes.
Weather
November starts pleasant but temperatures drop steadily as winter approaches. Early November can still hit 20°C on sunny days, but by month's end, you need jackets. The first frost usually arrives, and occasional snow isn't uncommon late in the month.

All Months
April through May brings perfect weather – 70s during the day, cool evenings, and everything's green. Fall (September-October) offers the same comfortable temperatures plus gorgeous prairie sunsets.
Summer gets hot and humid, with temperatures hitting 90+ regularly. But the Wichita River Festival in May-June makes it worthwhile if you can handle the heat. Winter brings unpredictable weather – you might see 60 degrees or a blizzard, sometimes in the same week.
Avoid July and August unless you love sweating through outdoor activities. December through February can be brutal with ice storms, though hotel rates drop significantly.
