Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Unpredictable is the best way to describe the weather conditions here. While the normal weather activities include hot, humid summers and mild winters with hardly any transition, Mother Nature likes to mix things up when you least expect it. There can be severe blizzards in winter or cold torrential downpours during summer. It is best to be prepared for all temperatures as the weather is never set.

Most students don’t mind the weather much as winter tends to be mild. It makes it much easier to get to class when the sidewalks are clear of slush and snow. The spring months in Newark are gorgeous. Students can be found outdoors all over the campus enjoying the warm weather. Sunbathing doubles for study time on particularly nice days. While the weather can fluctuate drastically from day to day, there are some days when the weather is perfect—days you will be glad you were here to enjoy.

Unpredictable

It rains fairly frequently, but it's totally manageable. Doesn't snow that much (mostly because you're not here for so long during winter session). When it is hot, it isn't too unbearable, even with no air-conditioning.

Crazy Delaware Weather

For the most part the weather is nice at the university. Your going to need a nice winter coat for the end of fall semesters and beginning of the spring semsester. However when it warms up it is extremely nice at the university and the grounds crew take excellent care of the lawns and such. the rain doesnt usually have too much of an effect on you because you can easily walk to your classes without getting soaled plus their are UD transit buses that shuttle you around which are very helpful.
