WEATHER FORECAST

The weather in Kansas City in April is typically mild but more changeable than in late summer, offering race fans a mix of pleasant spring conditions and occasional cool spells at Kansas Speedway.

Average temperatures

• Daytime highs: usually reach the mid-60s to low-70s °F (18–22 °C)
• Nighttime temperatures: can drop to the mid-40s to low-50s °F (7–11 °C), especially after sunset

Weather conditions

During the day, conditions are often comfortable with a mix of sunshine and passing clouds. Spring weather in the Kansas City area can change quickly, so fans may experience anything from bright sunshine to cooler, breezy periods during the same day.

By the evening, temperatures tend to fall quite rapidly once the sun goes down. If you plan to stay at the track after sunset or sit in open grandstands, bringing a light jacket or sweatshirt is recommended.

Rain possibility

April is part of the spring storm season in the Midwest. Kansas City averages around 4 inches (100 mm) of rainfall during the month. Short showers or occasional thunderstorms are possible, often developing in the afternoon or early evening. While long rain interruptions are not common, it is sensible to bring a poncho or lightweight rain jacket.

Wind

Spring winds can be more noticeable than later in the year. Typical wind speeds range from 10–15 mph (16–24 km/h), sometimes stronger ahead of passing weather fronts. Gusts can make conditions feel cooler in exposed seating areas around the speedway.
