Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students new to Duquesne or western Pennsylvania will soon learn how unpredictable the weather can be in this region. In Pittsburgh, one can look forward to experiencing each season in full force. Most students recommend packing for completely unpredictable weather, not just warm clothes for winter and light clothes for summer. An umbrella will become a precious commodity more than once during the school year.

Fall is generally comfortable in temperature, with a little rain. Come winter, warm clothes become essential to the Duquesne student’s wardrobe. The temperature usually stays below freezing, and students can expect a decent amount of snow. Spring brings rain and tends to vary in temperature somewhere between “late winter” and “early summer.” Students can usually count on hot summers with, of course, rain. A diverse wardrobe is needed—sometimes within the same week.

Very Very Windy

Duquesne is always at least 10 degrees lower than the rest of the city, because we are on the bluff, right by a river. It's very windy and chilly from September up until mid-April.
