College Prowler Take
The weather is unpredictable in Baltimore. Students from the north tend to complain that it never gets really cold and that it hardly ever snows. There are usually several small snowfalls each winter, but the city shuts down because it isn’t prepared to deal with snow. Although public schools close at the hint of snow, Johns Hopkins stays open at long as possible because it is so difficult to reschedule classes. When Hopkins does cancel class, most professors reschedule classes at their convenience. It is sunny most days, but storms come up without warning, and it is not uncommon to have thunderstorms every night during the spring and summer. Bring clothing for a variety of seasons. Most students don’t find the weather in Baltimore unpleasant. They do, however, dislike not knowing what kind of weather to expect at any given time. Many days it looks warm outside while it is still cold and windy. People who stay at Hopkins during the summer complain about the humidity, but during the school year, the weather is overall mild. As long as you are prepared for unpredictable weather, Baltimore weather should not be a detriment to enjoying life at Hopkins. Students Speak Out

For the first semester, it was beautiful with very little rain. It is kind of windy, but not too bad. It never got really bitter cold, with only one day of snow. It was 50 to 70 degrees pretty much constantly after February, with the exception of one really hot week in April. |

Weather was awesome this year. It was pretty mild. It only snowed once in January. I’m from Michigan originally, so it was a little adjustment. Most of the year, the temperature ranged between the 50s and 70s, with a couple weeks when it was warmer, and a few when it was cooler. |

It could look nice outside and still be cold, and it could rain but still be warm. When it rains, it’s normally humid, so I guess that’s one way you can tell if it will rain. It can get very warm in the summers due to humidity. |

The weather was really nice this year. I was at school for intersession, and it only snowed once. It was pretty windy this spring, but that’s my only complaint. |

Weather is random, very random. In the dorms, it’s always 80 degrees and people wear shorts, but outside it can get cold. I grew up in CA and thought it was cold here, and that was before the snow season. |
