Best time to visit Little Rock

October is the best month in Little Rock, scoring 80 out of 100, with August the weakest at 39. The 41-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 35.1 °C and January the coolest at 10.2 °C — a 24.9 °C spread across the year. Around 113 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side. 58 nights a year dip below freezing.

There is a real wet season here. May, July and August carry the rain — up to 14 wet days in a month — while January, September, October, November and December drop as low as 8. That 6-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Little Rock, 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 October, April, November. The one to think twice about is August. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
