Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Rain, rain, and more rain. The wet stuff epitomizes Athens’ weather, and not just in the spring. It rains in Athens year round, but thankfully, it’s really only constant in the springtime. Students agree that you should never leave home without an umbrella because the rainstorms can be completely random and without warning, not to mention torrential. Some students even go as far as to say, you should own a fleet of umbrellas, just so wherever you are, there’s one handy. That may be a bit overboard, but as stated above: it rains. It rains and it rains and it rains. But, other than showers, the weather is pleasant and typical to Ohio.

If you don’t like rain, then maybe OU isn’t the best choice. But, the rest of the weather is decent and predictable for the season. The rain does, after all, help the gorgeous flowers that pop up all over campus in spring. Just make sure to bring an umbrella, rain coat (OU rain pullovers are available at bookstores), and make sure to layer clothes; it may be cold outside, but it can be assured that the heat is blasting in the classroom buildings. Stay on your toes as Mother Nature throws a few curves your way.

Ohio weather is kind of "bipolar". One day it will be sunny and 75 degrees, the next snowing and 30 degrees. That may be an over-exaggeration! There are a lot of days where it is perfect weather. Even this past winter, we really didn't have a "winter" and it was great to be outside, walking to classes. You can see a multitude of people outside on any given day at the beautiful main campus of Ohio University in Athens.

It rains really hard in the spring and there is no draining system and the streets get flooded. The winters are also pretty bad but classes never get cancelled. It gets very hot in the summer especially in the dorm with no air conditioning.
