The Great Rain Divide:
Did you know Oklahoma is like a weather chameleon? It can change its precipitation personality depending on where you are. In the east, near the Arkansas border, you'll find yourself dodging downpours with an average of 56 inches a year. That's more than enough to fill a kiddie pool...every single day. Head west, however, and things get drier than a bowl of popcorn after a movie marathon. Out in the panhandle, you might only see 17 inches a year. Basically, bring your chaps, not your umbrella.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
The Not-So-Predictable Predictable:
Now, here's the kicker: Oklahoma rain is like a moody teenager. It can be all sunshine one minute and then unleash a torrential tantrum the next. While the average annual rainfall might be 36 inches statewide, any given year could be a total soak-fest or a bone-dry snooze.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
So, You're Saying I Need an Ark...or a Cactus?
