Best time to visit Amarillo

April is the best month in Amarillo, scoring 91 out of 100, with July the weakest at 48. The 43-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 4 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

July is the warmest month at 34.4 °C and January the coolest at 10.9 °C — a 23.5 °C spread across the year. Around 108 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side. At the other end, 90 nights a year fall below freezing: the winter here is a real one.

There is a real wet season here. June to August carry the rain — up to 12 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, November and December drop as low as 2. That 10-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Amarillo, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.8 hours in winter to 14.5 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are April, March, October. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
