Climate

Kansas' "big sky," dramatic sunsets, and great variability in temperature and precipitation are all important aspects of the regional personality. Because the state is remote from the moderating influences of oceans, it has a wide annual temperature range.  
Precipitation is highly variable and has a marked regional pattern. Average rainfall is 1,140 mm (45 in) in the southeast, a pattern related to distance from the Gulf of Mexico moisture source. About 75 percent of the annual precipitation falls between April and September, but summer is often a moisture-deficient season because of high evaporation rates. Because precipitation is dependent on the chance meeting of moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and low-pressure systems, yearly totals are highly variable. 
Sharply contrasting air masses frequently clash over the Kansas plains, bringing violent weather.

Spring has arrived along with "spring weather".   Have you recently installed a storm shelter and if so have you registered it with City Hall?
Do emergency personnel know where people are located in the event of an emergency? 
Yes, the Arma Police Department has a list of people who have basements and storm shelters with the number of people in those locations.  The list is three years old.  If you are uncertain if you are on that list you can contact Arma City Hall at 347-4125 or the Arma Police Department at 347-4500.  This list will be used by emergency personnel to locate people in the aftermath of a tornado.
