Chico Weather
Average daily temps in Chico during October are in the mid-80's, but it can reach up into the 90's. We recommend bringing a light sweater or jacket, as some of the air-conditioned buildings can get chilly. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes to enjoy the full weekend of activities.
