Best time to visit Oklahoma City

April is the best month in Oklahoma City, scoring 83 out of 100, with July the weakest at 47. The 36-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 5 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 34.7 °C and January the coolest at 9.3 °C — a 25.4 °C spread across the year. Around 100 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side. At the other end, 72 nights a year fall below freezing: the winter here is a real one.

There is a real wet season here. May to June carry the rain — up to 13 wet days in a month — while January, February, November and December drop as low as 4. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Oklahoma City, 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, October, March. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
