Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The weather in Richmond can be a bit unpredictable to say the least. It is not uncommon to have 70- or 80-degree weather in the middle of November. Students are never sure how the weather may turn, so they tend to not be surprised when something drastic happens. A sturdy umbrella that won’t flip when it’s windy is a must. There’s nothing worse than coming to class drenched from the rain you didn’t know was coming. Warm shoes and sneakers or boots, such as Uggs, during the winter and sandals during the warmer months are popular among students. It never snows enough here to actually cancel classes no matter how many students put their pajamas on backwards and do a snow dance.
 

Students seem to perk up once winter starts to fade and Daylight Savings Time begins. As it gets warmer, students love to hang out in Monroe Park and in the patches of grass around Harris Hall. Students often play catch or just lay out to catch the highly missed warmth of the sun. The only complaint students have is that there are no outdoor pools in the area where they can swim on hot days.

Multi-Climated Weather

The weather in Richmond, VA varies. There is no one set climate or common weather prediction. The same day that there might be sun and in the 70's. It also may rain or thunderstorm that same day or drop about 20 degrees. The weather is hard to predict on a daily bases but it's not unbearable.

Not Too Bad

When it snows or rains, the campus is pretty small and close together, so you don't have to trek through miles and miles of it. When it's nice out, you run out of room very quickly to be outside, which is annoying. Classes are never ever cancelled because of weather.

VCU Weather

Well, not so much VCU itself, but Virginia as a whole deserves a B-. Weather can be sporadic, where it will be freezing one day and blazing hot the next. That's global warming for you.
