Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UNH is in the heart of New England, and that means the weather changes about every five minutes. There is absolutely no consistency in the climate here—it’s kind of like Mother Nature’s little freak experiment. UNH gets the best and the worst of every season, so bring a little bit of everything. Students normally agree that the best season is usually the fall, when the leaves turn beautiful colors and the weather is mostly stable. You can usually get away with a T-shirt and shorts just about every day of the fall. However, many beachgoers say that summer is the best season because of the close proximity of the coast. During the summer months, many UNH students take advantage of the beaches nearby because the warmer weather allows them to frequently do so.

Each winter brings different amounts of snow. On average, the campus sees a moderate one or two feet of snow, so don’t be afraid to bring your snow gear to play in. In spring, the campus is drowned in mud, but the temperatures usually allow you to break out the lighter clothes once again. Although you will need a varying degree of clothing to keep you comfortable around campus, the weather is usually right in the middle of the spectrum.

It's New Hampshire

And in New Hampshire, winters are cold and snowy. Classes are only canceled if the roads are really bad. Spring and fall are beautiful.

Average New England Weather

We are by the coast, so literally we get everything. If you like New England weather, then you will probably like New Hampshire. Since we are by the coast, we don't usually get tons of feet of snow like say, Vermont. But we do get a decent amount. It is usually pretty warm. Though warning there has been a trend lately that it rains at some point of the day every Thursday. Weird. I know.
