Oklahoma: Land of the Sooner Sunrise (Unless You're a Night Owl)
Ah, Oklahoma. The Sooner State, birthplace of the Tulsa Sound, and home to some of the friendliest folks (and most delicious fried onion burgers) this side of the Mississippi. But for those of us who crave a little sunshine in our lives, one burning question always pops up: exactly when does that glorious orb grace Oklahoma with its presence?
Fear not, fellow sunshine seekers! This guide will be your beacon (get it? beacon...sun...never mind) in the sometimes murky waters of Oklahoma sunrises.

| What Time Does The Sun Come Up In Oklahoma |
Dawn Patrol or Sleep In?
The answer, my friends, depends on where you are in Oklahoma and what your sleep schedule resembles. Oklahoma is a big state, and sunrise times can vary by a few minutes depending on your location. Generally speaking, though, you're looking at somewhere between 6:20 AM and 6:30 AM during the summer months.
But here's the kicker: Oklahoma isn't exactly known for its mountain ranges (unless you count those epic ant hills). So, the sunrise tends to happen pretty quickly. No slow and sleepy reveal here. It's more like BAM! Sun's up! Time to chase some tumbleweeds (or grab a cup of coffee, whichever floats your boat).
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
Night owls rejoice! You can probably sleep in until at least 7:00 AM before things get too bright. Although, that glorious morning light might just be the perfect cure for those late-night karaoke sessions.
Pro Tip: If you're an indecisive sunrise enthusiast (like yours truly), there are plenty of websites and apps that can give you the exact sunrise time for your specific location. No need to play guess-the-sunroof-glow.
So You Want to See the Sunrise? Here's What You WON'T Need:
- A telescope: Trust me, you'll see the sun just fine without one. Unless you're looking for sunspots, in which case, maybe consult a professional.
- A hazmat suit: Oklahoma sunrises are beautiful, not radioactive (usually).
- A time machine: The sunrise will happen when it happens, my friend. Embrace the present moment!
