Oklahoma Mesonet

Not bad at all for much of the state, still need more and to spread it up into the NE quarter of the state. A dollop here or there will do. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Forget the money...SHOW US THE RAIN! Enjoy your fake-fall weekend! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Wow, now THAT'S a late-July cold front! #okwx #okmesonet

The rain is out there. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

IT'S REAL! And you clodhoppers said it wouldn't happen. #okwx #okmesonet

Just another reason to enjoy the Fall Preview this weekend, because next week though! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

If you thought today was hot--and it was the hottest day of 2025 so far--wait until tomorrow! Roasting! #okwx #okmesonet

Break out the pumpkin spice lattes and go out and rake those leaves that have died and fallen off your trees. It's okay, you can just pretend they're pretty oranges and reds. Don't get too used to it, though. Summer roars back next week. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

It's not fall, but it'll be a nice preview. You'd still be sweating in a sweater, so don't go that far. Don't try any pumpkin spice nonsense, either! We'll bake until then, though, so keep those heat safety tips handy. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

We skipped Ludicrous Heat today and went straight to plaid! That's never a good look. The Wet Bulb Globe Risk today was in the high-to-extreme for most of us. It's like the heat index, but adds in the impact of wind and the sun. #okwx #okmesonet

Yes, it's summer, and yes, we expect the heat. But this heat is also dangerous to those most vulnerable populations. And it's gonna be here awhile. Possible storms across the NW half of the state later today might bring some relief! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

No Mesonet sites have hit 100F for actual air temps more than 6 times this summer, but some already have more than 30 days with the heat index above 100F, with another week of July and all of August to go! #okwx #okmesonet

It'll still be HOT, but a one-day reprieve from those stifling heat index values, save for far E OK. And maybe some rain for the NW half of the state over the next few days? We'll take the chance, at least! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

I fell into a burnin’ Oklahoma summer,
It burns, burns, burns — no clouds, no thunder.
No storms, just sun — it’s nature’s bummer.
We fry in the Oklahoma summer. #okwx #okmesonet

Couldn't we set it back to "Off?" Heat index values out of control again today as dangerous heat has set in. Check on those folks that are vulnerable to the heat. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Now is the time on Oklahoma when we dance! And summer. The heat dome has been activated, make your peace with your air conditioner. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Oklahoma Mesonet air temperature map from 12:50pm on July 17, 2025. Temperatures range from the low 70s in the panhandle to the low 90s in southern Oklahoma. The new Smithville site is labelled in far southeast Oklahoma.

📣 New Oklahoma Mesonet site announcement!!

This week our field team installed the new "Smithville" Mesonet site in the northern part of McCurtain county. This site replaces the de-commissioned Mount Herman site.

Join us in welcoming Smithville to the map!! 🎉🎉 #okwx #okmesonet

That little splotch of yellow in SW OK isn't drought...yet, just abnormally dry conditions. But they've definitely dried out over the last couple of months. Heavy rains possible this weekend into next week *might* knock it back off the map? Here's hoping! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Putting that heat out of its misery this weekend, especially in northern Oklahoma! #okwx #okmesonet

Our mild (and wet) summer continues! There'll be a bit of heat this week, but no heat waves or heat domes showing up for awhile. A cold front on Friday will bring more rain chances and a very mild Saturday once again. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Because It. Keep. Raining. SW OK is starting to dry out again. We've got our eyes peeled for any flash drought popping up! The mild weather is helping. #okwx #okmesonet

Only if you want really sweaty hands. But how about more highs in the 80s, like the rest of this week will be? *Disclaimer: not responsible for accidents or heat index … See more

We might be seeing some hazy skies the next few days as that large plume of Saharan dust makes its way into our area, especially across SE OK. Watch for some nice sunsets and sunrises, too! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

It's our annual look back, and forward, at Oklahoma's weather halfway through the year. Nobody REALLY knows what's gonna happen in the second half...except me, of course. Heck no, I'm not telling! That'd spoil the gag. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Maybe a break next week from the muggy conditions we've been seeing the last week or so, thanks to a weak cold front and the seasonal Desert Southwest monsoon? WABBIT SEASON! DUCK SEASON! No, Monsoon season. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Looks dry and hot and humid (say what??) for the WORLD CHAMPION OKC Thunder's parade tomorrow morning (10:30am). Gonna be steamy, but the champs and their fans can take it. They do need to stay hydrated, though. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Watch for storms along and south of the cold front later today, with large hail and severe winds as the biggest threats. Then... and extended bout of SUMMER. One more day, folks! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Okay, who promised God they'd risk severe weather today for a Thunder win?? Well, enjoy the win and stay weather aware on this hot and steamy summer day! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

It's been unusually mild since May 1, so we aren't acclimated to the heat just yet...neither are livestock. Check out the forecast max cattle comfort index today, which shows those values well up into the "heat danger" category. These levels can lead to animal deaths. #okmesonet
