Next week brings a classic cool-down into early fall, pleasant afternoons, crisp nights and a few clouds that hint at sweater weather on the horizon. Highs move from the mid-60s to the upper-60s and lows dip into the 40s, giving students a week of comfortable campus weather with just enough variety to keep things interesting.
Monday: Expect abundant sunshine with a high near 65 °F and a low around 49 °F. It’s a great day for outdoor classes, grabbing coffee on the quad or walking between buildings without the heat. Evening air turns cool, so a light jacket will serve you well.
Tuesday: Windier and cooler with intervals of clouds and sunshine and a couple of showers possible in the afternoon; high near 59 °F and low around 45 °F. The breeze will make it feel cooler than the thermometer reads, so layer up. Planning outdoor time earlier in the day will likely be the most comfortable.
Wednesday: Considerable cloudiness and breezy, with high near 52 °F and low dipping to around 42 °F. Showers remain possible, making it a good day for indoor study sessions or quick campus errands between classes. The chill starts to set in, signaling that fall is getting serious.
Thursday: Partly sunny and breezy with a high around 53 °F and a low near 38 °F. This will be one of the cooler days of the week, especially in the morning and evening. Students should opt for layers and plan for shorter stays outdoors.
Friday: Mostly cloudy skies with high near 59 °F and low around 47 °F. A mild rebound compared to Thursday, but clouds dominate the day. Afternoon outdoor time is still viable, but nights feel distinctly cooler.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy with highs near 64 °F and lows around 46 °F. A more comfortable afternoon for weekend activities, errands or relaxing on the lawn. Early morning and evenings will still need a light sweater or jacket.
Sunday: Plenty of sunshine returns with a high near 66 °F and a low around 48 °F. A nice wrap to the week, perfect for finish-of-week walks, assignments outdoors or just soaking up the last daylight before evening sets in.
It’s a week of transition at Bowling Green State University. Afternoons that invite time outdoors, evenings that remind you fall is around the corner and just enough wind and clouds to keep things interesting. With highs mostly in the 50s and 60s and lows hovering in the 40s, this is your cue to enjoy the quad, use the sunshine and bring a jacket for the nights.
