Tulsa in April
Great time to visit
April's when Tulsa hits its stride - gorgeous weather, blooming trees, and outdoor festivals starting up. One of the best months to visit if you don't mind the occasional storm watch.
Weather
April delivers on spring's promises with mild days and cool evenings perfect for patio dining. Rain comes in quick afternoon thunderstorms that clear out fast, leaving everything smelling fresh. Tornado season kicks in, but don't let that scare you off.

All Months
Skip summer unless you enjoy feeling like you're inside a hair dryer. July and August regularly hit 100°F with crushing humidity. Spring and fall offer perfect weather — think 70s during the day, 50s at night. October brings the best weather of the year, plus fall colors along the river. March through May works great too, though spring storms can roll through. Winter stays mild compared to northern cities, but ice storms occasionally shut everything down for a day or two. The Mayfest arts festival in May draws huge crowds, so book ahead. November through February sees the fewest tourists and lowest hotel rates.
