Weather in Oklahoma City in November

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 16.5 °C, lows 4.1 °C, and rain falls on 5 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 4 of 12 in Oklahoma City: past the worst of the year but short of April, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 5 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 16.5 °C days and 4.1 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 6 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 29.1 °C and the coldest night fell to -9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 48 mm — roughly 123% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 130 mm across the twenty years measured — a 130 mm spread around an average of 39 mm. The average is real but almost no individual November looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 12.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 68%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 6.6 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 6.4 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Oklahoma City's year — 10.3 hours of daylight against 14.5 at midsummer, losing 0.8 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 37 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead. If the dates are flexible, September is the trade worth considering — 14 points weaker on weather, and materially quieter.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Oklahoma City versus nearby

If Oklahoma City is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Tulsa is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain. Wichita is close enough to be a coin toss — 2 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 4 points behind April, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
