How does Oklahoma City weather wear out wiper blades?

Oklahoma City averages wind speeds of about 8.9 to 11.1 mph, with gusts of 25 to 28 mph reported in recent climate data. Hail appears in local monthly climate reports, and severe-weather season runs mainly March through June, with April and May most active. Heat, sun, and storms wear rubber blades faster.

How often should you replace windshield wiper blades?

Many drivers replace wiper blades at least once a year, or sooner in harsh weather. Replace them right away if they streak, chatter, skip, crack, or leave parts of the windshield uncleared. Poor clearing is unsafe during Oklahoma City's windy and severe-weather months.
