All Months
March through May brings perfect biking weather and the farmers market at its peak. Campus buzzes with energy, and the surrounding countryside turns green from winter rains. September through November offers warm days and cool evenings — ideal for outdoor dining and bike rides. Summers get hot, sometimes hitting 105°F, but the town empties out when students leave, making it quieter and cheaper. Winter brings occasional rain but temperatures rarely drop below 40°F. Avoid major UC Davis events like graduation weekend in June and move-in weekend in September unless you book accommodations months ahead. The annual Whole Earth Festival in May draws crowds but showcases the town's hippie roots with live music and local art.
