Arkansas Climate and Weather

Print our full travel guide to Arkansas

Climate

Arkansas has four distinct, yet temperate, seasons. It is far enough south to have extremely hot, humid summers, during which thunderstorms occur quite frequently. Arkansas does border the so-called 'Tornado Alley', and severe tornadoes have struck in the past. Spring and autumn are particularly mild and pleasant. Winters are chilly, but not unbearably so, and while snow is not uncommon, it is not excessive.
