Dewey, OK 74029 Frost Dates

Frost dates for Dewey, OK, ZIP 74029

Zone 7a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 04/11, roughly 226 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/24, about 195 frost-free days later.

Dewey sits in USDA Zone 7a (0 to 5°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 7a around Dewey has about 8 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 04/11 isn't a guarantee

04/11 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/27 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/30 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
