Kansas City Airport station is effected by several climate controls. The small scale micro climate controls are the heat island caused by the stations close proximity to Kansas City, the constant air travel of planes producing heat and particulate matter effect the recording station. other micro factors are the stations close proximity to Berlin Reservoir, and the station being near to the irrigation of the crop fields surrounding the airport. The larger scale meso climate controls, Kansas City is in the subtropical climate zone giving it warm summers, and cool winters. Kansas City, MO airport station is effected by cold Polar air masses and warm meritime tropical air masses, which effect the temp, precip. cause tornadoes, and other cyclonic activities. other meso climate controls are the low pressure cells from the Rocky mountains, and warm dry air from the sonoran desert.

For Kansas City Airport the the month with the lowest average temperature for both the min. and max. temperatures is the month of January, while the warmest month is July

Comparing the Station at Kansas City International Airport to L.A.X. the similarities between the two stations, both stations are in airports so the asphalt runways absorb more solar radiation than without. both stations are effected by urban heat islands with there close proximity to large urban areas, although L.A.X. is in a much larger heat island. Both areas have weather effected by the rocky mountains. The differences between the two stations is that L.A. is close to the Pacific ocean, because it is near the ocean the area experiences advection fog when the warm moist air from the ocean meats dry cool air on land. Also because of the ocean L.A.X. has less variation in the weather, and temperature seasonally, with the average temperature never dropping below 60 F, and the rainiest seasons at the L.A.X. station is January to March, while in Kansas it is in July and May. L.A.X does not experience mid-latitude cyclones.
