Oklahoma celebrated its 100th anniversary of statehood on November 16, 2007. To commemorate that anniversary, the National Weather Service compiled information on some of the most significant weather events that impacted Oklahoma during the state's first 100 years. From devastating tornadoes to crippling ice storms, from drought and the dust bowl years to floods, Oklahoma's weather is always changing, and always a topic of conversation. Join us in looking back at 100 years of Oklahoma's fascinating weather.
NWS Norman would like to thank the Oklahoma Climatological Survey for their data and assistance in compiling this historical data. We would also like to express our appreciation to the Oklahoma Historical Society for the use of their facilities and historical records.

Oklahoma Weather Conditions 102 Years Ago for
November 8, 1907
In Oklahoma, El Nino effects often are balanced between the mild and dry anomalies over the northern Plains and the cool wet anomalies to the south over Texas. As such, the prevailing conditions can go either way. November 1907 generally was cool and wet, as temperatures averaged almost 2 degrees below normal for the month and statewide precipitation averaged about 1/2 inch above normal. Most of the anomalies, cool and wet, were confined to southeastern OK, while northwestern OK remained relatively mild and dry on the average for the month.
