Peculiar, MO Overview

The first thing newcomers will wonder about the town of Peculiar is the origin of the unusual name. Prior to the Civil War, this sleepy hamlet submitted a list of names to the Postmaster General. When he countered that they were already in use, the townspeople asked him to choose any name at all as long as it was a little peculiar. Today, Peculiar is gaining in popularity as an attractive rural village that offers an alternative to the hectic metropolitan pace. Commuters are drawn to its lovely natural surroundings and quiet, well-maintained neighborhoods. They also appreciate living in close proximity to the cultural, educational, and recreational amenities in the metroplex. Nearby parks provide playgrounds, ball fields, tennis courts, and picnic areas. Numerous golf courses are available within a short distance. Lakes for boating, fishing and water sports are also accessible.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
