Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students consistently say Davis weather is extreme. From the sizzling August heat to the numbing November rain, Davis weather covers a spectrum of atmospheric activity, even getting snow every few years. Students are advised to prepare for extreme seasons and bring a wardrobe packed with everything from snow gear to bathing suits. For students with allergies, medication is also a good idea—with all the construction and agriculture, allergies tend to flare up in the spring.

Despite Davis’ tendency to have extreme summers and winters, it gets its share of the unbeatable California weather. Overall, the climate is comfortable. In a town where the sun shines an average of 267 days a year, even Southern California students shouldn’t have to worry about being depressed by the weather.

Rainy Winters Hot Summers

Davis weather is like Mediterranean weather where we have rainy winters and hot summers. It also tends to get pretty windy at times, but there are also many days where it is just gorgeous.

Wish It Was Socal

Scorching hot in the summer, unbearably cold in the winter. Wish I was somewhere in SoCal with tolerable weather. It seems we suffer through 9 months of terrible weather just to have a few months of okay weather (you know it's bad when people consider overcast and breezy a "beautiful day"). The weather is definitely better than most of the US, but when most of the people here could have gone to schools in SoCal, it's kind of a bummer.

The Usual, Typical Weather

The weather here isn't too different from where I grew up, except when it is summer, it is much much hotter here, and when it is winter, it is very much cooler. In addition, when spring break approaches, the rainy season begins. Nonetheless, you will get by the days.
