Best time to visit Tulsa

October is the best month in Tulsa, scoring 81 out of 100, with August the weakest at 44. The 37-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 34.8 °C and January the coolest at 8.4 °C — a 26.4 °C spread across the year. Around 98 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side. At the other end, 75 nights a year fall below freezing: the winter here is a real one.

There is a real wet season here. May carries the rain — up to 14 wet days in a month — while January, February, November and December drop as low as 5. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Tulsa, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in winter to 14.6 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.
