April 4th in Kirksville typically sits in that awkward shoulder season — expect a high around 59° and a low near 36°, with a 30% chance of rain. The date's range is wild, though: it's hit 85° back in 1942 and bottomed out at 10° in 1899, so spring here keeps you guessing.
Kirksville earns its Midwest stripes with some serious extremes — 113° in July 1936 on one end, -31° in February 1905 on the other, a 144-degree swing between the all-time highs and lows. A single July day in 2008 dropped 7.67 inches of rain, and a January 1967 storm buried the town under 18 inches of snow.
Summer is the main event, with highs averaging 88° during the week of July 9–15 and June being the wettest stretch of the year at over an inch a week. If you're visiting in winter, pack for cold — January highs barely crack 35°. For the best of Kirksville, aim for May or September when temps are pleasant and the rain and cold haven't fully taken over.
