May Named Third-Wettest on Record in Hays Area
May rain and cool conditions dominated across the region. At Kansas State University’s Hays ARS, May totaled 8.97 inches, ranking as the third-wettest on record behind 1898 and 1903, with 20 of 31 days rainy and rainfall for the year near 13.1 inches. Local observer Don Harvey noted a 24-hour total of 3.05 inches on May 8 and highlighted wide local variation, as storms in late May dumped up to 5 inches in some areas. Farmers faced damaged wheat and near-term planting needs, aiming to plant sunflowers by the 10th as fields dry and weather shifts pace.
