About Madison County Weather

A temperate Ozark escape

Madison County offers a cooler 57.3°F annual average, making it one of the more temperate pockets in the southern United States. While still warmer than the national median, it is significantly cooler than its Arkansas neighbors.

One of the coolest spots in Arkansas

This county is one of the coolest in the state, sitting nearly four degrees below the Arkansas average of 61.0°F. Its Ozark location provides a distinct break from the heat found in the Delta or southern timberlands.

Colder and snowier than the region

Madison’s 57.3°F average and 25 extreme heat days make it much milder than Logan’s 66 heat days. It also sees over double the snowfall of its southern neighbors with 5.6 inches annually.

Milder summers and snowy winters

July stays relatively comfortable at 77.0°F, and the county only records 25 days over 90°F. Winter is the coldest in this group at 38.3°F, bringing the state's highest snow totals at 5.6 inches.

Prepare for real winter weather

Residents enjoy a lighter cooling load but should prepare for more frequent winter weather events than the rest of the state. It is the ideal spot for those who prefer four distinct seasons without the standard Arkansas summer intensity.
