Did You Know? The school closing due to weather is very rare. The only other weather-related closures at Mizzou occurred in 1949, 1978, 1995, 1998, 2006, and 2011.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Missouri weather is pretty bipolar. One day, it can be 89 degrees, and the next it is below freezing. Fall usually brings in some of the best weather Missouri has to offer. It gets a little chilly during the night, but during the day, it's usually in the high 60s or low 70s.

Winters can get bad. During the winter of 2011, Mizzou had a small blizzard that caused campus to shut down for three days. Don't expect that every winter, though; the last time school was shut down was in 2006, and the time before that was in 1998. Winters are also very cold—not just due to the low temperature, but because of the wind. Spring is usually very rainy and overcast, so bring an umbrella. Summers are hot and humid! Humidity is probably the worst weather-related experience in Missouri.

Weather at the University of Missouri

It either gets really cold during the winter months or really hot during the time classes begin in august! Classes typically aren't cancelled depending on how the weather is like, so you either are barging through snow, splashing through puddles, or sweating profusely to get to class. Missouri weather is never predictable.

Missouri Weather

Missouri weather is pretty awful. It goes from 80 one day to 45 the next. Winter however, is cringe-worthy. The snowpocalypse was last year and we had to walk to class in around 6 inches of snow, and the temperature was frequently below freezing.

The Columbia weather is quite reasonable, but changes on a dime.
