Oklahoma City is place where you get to enjoy all four seasons, with a seasonally varied climate layered with plenty of sunshine. And the states’ climate ranges from humid subtropical in the east to semi-arid in the west (according to its Koppen climate classification) giving even more variety to enjoy.

The average annual temperature is 61 degrees Fahrenheit, with an average high of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and an average low of 51 degrees Fahrenheit, with sunny days for 65% of the year. The average temperature in July is 39.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and 83 degrees in July. The city averages 37.6 inches of rain each year and 7.6 inches of snow.

Oklahoma’s location east of the Rocky Mountains and north of the Gulf of Mexico means that we can be a hot spot for some interesting weather, as the cold air from the mountains collides with warm, moist air from the south. Oklahoma City is home to some of the nation’s best and most experienced meteorologists, with the NOAA National Weather Center located in Norman on the south side of the metro. The region’s technologically advanced weather detection systems give increased warning times for dangerous storms and keep Oklahomans safe.
