These are the Top Ten Kentucky Cities with the Best Weather

A recent study revealed the top ten Kentucky cities with the best weather, and I was shocked when I saw number one!

After all of the frigid cold temperatures and snow that we received here in Kentucky over winter, many (like me) were eagerly awaiting summertime. Now that summer is upon us, we are experiencing a lot of heat and humidity. Honestly, it makes me wish that it was cooler outside. I'm ready for the colder weather, but I'm sure that once we get that colder weather, I'll be ready for warmer weather. Surely, I'm not the only person who is like that. I'm a happy-medium type of person. I don't want it really cold, and I certainly don't want it nearly this hot and humid. I just want nice and comfortable weather.

Speaking of nice weather, I just saw a recent study from Home Snacks, where the publication found the top ten cities in Kentucky with the best weather. But how does one determine something like that? Well, luckily, Home Snacks broke down how the top ten was determined:

To rank the most fair weather cities in Kentucky, we used Saturday Night Science and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) database, to see which cities in the Bluegrass State get the best weather.

We used the following criteria to find the best weather:

• Number of sunny days
• Highest average low
• Average high deviation from 70 degrees
• Least amount of rain
• Least amount of snow

We ranked each city of over 10,000 people in Kentucky from best to worst on each criterion. We then averaged each ranking into a weather quality index.

Given all of that information, which cities in Kentucky offer the best weather? Here's what Home Snacks' data revealed:

1. Henderson
2. Mayfield
3. Paducah
4. Madisonville
5. Shively
6. Fort Campbell North
7. Shepherdsville
8. Owensboro
9. Jeffersontown
10. Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance)

As someone who is quite familiar with Henderson, living really, just across the river. I'm surprised, but not really surprised to see this as the city with the best weather in Kentucky. I've always felt that the weather in this area is so temperamental. You can get all four seasons in one week, and that's not even a joke. I'm sure it is like that in other parts of the state too. Would you agree with the findings?
