Dress Attire
Q: What is the proper attire/dress code for FSCI?
The summer institute attire is very casual – please dress comfortably, summer/beach attire. Shorts, T-shirts and flip flops are perfectly appropriate, but feel free to dress any way that you feel comfortable.
Q: What is the weather like?
For predicted/historical weather conditions in the area please visit this link: Los Angeles Accuweather. Los Angeles has an average temperature of 22°C (72°F) in August, with highs of 28°C (83°F) and lows of 16°C (61°F) after dark. It's usually quite arid, and very rarely rains in the month of August. If you visit at this time of year you will need your summer wardrobe for the daytime, but for evenings out (and for air-conditioned meeting rooms), you may want to bring a warm layer.
