Seasonal Summaries

A companion to the monthly summary, the seasonal summary will delve deeper into Oklahoma’s climate. Each quarterly publication will be thematic, with informative articles and vibrant color maps and graphics. Weather-related classroom activities and lessons also will be included for use by educators. Meant to be both a planning and informational tool, the summaries will contain horticulture tips from the state’s leading agronomists at Oklahoma State University, along with weather safety guidelines from Oklahoma’s emergency preparedness experts. These summaries are in PDF format. Press here to download Adobe's free Acrobat Reader.
