Let's cut to the chase! If your calendar is begging for adventure, pencil in Tulsa during April. Here's why - this spirited city blossoms in the soft light of spring, shedding its winter skin for yakima roses and tulips. The sun gets comfy in the sky, gifting us with perfect picnic temperatures around the mid-60s to low 70s. And let's not forget, the joviality of the locals is as tangible as the melodies wafting from jazz clubs and the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue ribs. Get ready to strut around in pure joy, just remember to pack that light jacket for cooler evening strolls.

Cheapest time to go to Tulsa

In contrast to our budget, we humans have a simple philosophy - heart wants what it wants, right? And let's be honest, there's never a wrong time to sprinkle a little magic in our lives. But, if your wallet feels a little light, how about planning an end-of-summer trip to Tulsa? Around August and September, as the rush slows and the weather still caters for an occasional dip in the Arkansas River, deals on flights and accommodation prove to be kinder on the pocket. It's the utterly practical manifestation of the adage, "saving the best for last"!

Worst time of year to visit Tulsa

Remember that time you forgot to pack your thermal boots for a snowboarding trip? Priceless, right? Alright, maybe not. Let's make sure such a mishap doesn't haunt you in Tulsa. Winters here, especially December through February, can summon temperatures as low as 29°F. Snow plays peek-a-boo, but the gusty winds aren't shy at all. For many, it's an invitation to snuggle in, leaving the city less vibrant. Are you intrigued by the cold's poetic solitude? If not, maybe winter isn't your Tulsa-cup-of-tea.

Weather in Tulsa

"How is the weather in Tulsa?" you ask. In my J.R.R. Tolkien-esque voice, "It's a bit of this, a touch of that, an element of surprise thrown into the mix!"

Yet, if we're to break it down, seasons abide by their roles dutifully here. Summers can get toasty, inviting ice-cream trucks out into neighborhoods. Come winter, the city wraps up, cranking up the heat indoors while the outdoors flirt with freezing temperatures.
