Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 · 1991-2020 Statewide aggregates for Oklahoma computed as the simple average across its 159 station-mapped locations, each represented by its primary NOAA station (361 stations in the state network).

Climate Insight: Oklahoma

Oklahoma's climate profile is aggregated from 159 station-mapped locations and 361 NOAA weather stations reporting under the 1991–2020 U.S. Climate Normals program. The statewide average annual temperature sits at 60°F, which is the simple average across all tracked station-mapped locations rather than any single station's reading. Because Oklahoma spans multiple latitudes, elevations, and proximities to large water bodies, local conditions can differ from this headline number by wide margins; coastal, valley, and mountain stations often diverge by ten degrees or more even within a single month.

Precipitation and snowfall averages round out the climatological picture. Across Oklahoma, annual precipitation averages 35.7 inches, with typical seasonal snowfall near 6.2 inches statewide. These numbers combine rain, sleet, and snow water-equivalent and describe the thirty-year normal rather than any particular recent year. Readers evaluating a specific destination should drill into one of the 159 individual location profiles below; each station record varies with local geography, and the statewide figures here are averages that mask meaningful intrastate differences.

For planning purposes, the location table above is sorted to help you compare averages side-by-side: annual mean temperature, average daily high and low, precipitation totals, snowfall, and PlainClimate's climate comfort score. That 1–100 score combines temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, snowfall burden, and frost-free growing-season length from each location's NOAA normal. It is a climate-only comparison, not a NOAA or overall livability rating. Use it as a starting point, then open each location profile for the exact score inputs, monthly breakdowns, degree-day totals, frost dates, and separately reported humidity metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average temperature in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma averages 60°F a year across NOAA's 1991-2020 Climate Normals, warmer than 78% of U.S. states. That is 7.2°F above the 53.1°F average across all 50 states.
Does the climate vary a lot within Oklahoma?
Yes. Annual averages inside Oklahoma run from Goodwell Rsch Stn at 56°F to Ardmore at 65°F -- a 9°F spread between the state's coldest and warmest measured station-mapped locations. A single statewide average can mask this kind of local variation.
Where does Oklahoma rank nationally for temperature?
Oklahoma ranks #11 warmest and #40 coldest out of 50 U.S. states and territories with NOAA normals data, based on statewide average annual temperature.
What is the most comfortable station-mapped location in Oklahoma?
Ardmore scores the highest established comfort rating in Oklahoma at 97/100, a PlainClimate composite of annual temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, snowfall burden, and frost-free growing-season length.
