About Kentucky

Climate

No matter the season you’ll love Kentucky’s mild climate. Summers can be very warm, but cool evenings are not unusual. For spring and fall, it’s a good idea to carry a light jacket. Snow totals vary widely from west to east across the Commonwealth. January has an average high temperature of 40 degrees F; July’s average is 87 degrees F.

Hunting, Fishing and Boating

Kentucky is a paradise for hunters and anglers. The Kentucky Department for Fish and Wildlife Resources works to keep the Commonwealth’s great outdoors perfect for wildlife. Check out the regulations governing your sport and purchase the required licenses on-line.
