Fall in Connecticut is typically breezy and mild, with a frequent
tendency for Indian Summers - when the temperature
rises to summer temperatures after a period of cooler weather.
In Autumn, it is helpful to keep light jackets, sweaters, and
rain gear handy.
Winter in Connecticut can either be mild or snowy. You can expect
everything from mild, Fall-like days to sleet storms. For the
winter, be sure to have warm sweaters, winter coats, hats, gloves,
sturdy boots, and thick socks.
Connecticut Springs are often quite rainy though the temperatures
are mild. Keep some of your warm clothes handy, but you can begin
to break out some warm weather clothes as well. This may be a
good time to give in and buy an umbrella or raincoat.
If you stay in Hartford for the summer, expect mild, pleasant
weather in the early part of the season, but be prepared for hot,
humid days through July and August. It is always hotter in the
city than in the countryside, so if you are in Connecticut during
a summer, you can cool off by taking a road trip to the mountains
or to the shore.
Regardless of the temperature outside, the dormitories are notoriously
cold before the heat kicks in around late fall and notoriously
hot for the rest of the year. With this in mind, you may want
to keep some warmer clothes handy in the fall, and some cooler
clothes handy the rest of the year so you can be comfortable in
your dorm room.
