TRAVEL AND TOURISM

Weather

The weather in the Stanford area during October is usually warm, but can range anywhere from 65-95°F with temperatures typically cooling off quite a bit in the evenings. "California casual" is appropriate for all meeting activities. A sweater or light jacket is suggested for the Users' Meeting dinner which will be held in a tent.
