Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When people across the States think of a place with perfect weather, they often picture Southern California because of its warm climate and low humidity. Though Los Angeles may be the largest city in Southern California, it is plagued by smog and other irritants. San Diego is the quintessential portrait of perfect weather for millions of Americans. If you’re looking for one of the best climates in the country, you’ll find it here in San Diego. SDSU offers one of the most perfect climates that any university has to offer.

However, perfect does not mean that there are sunny skies 365 days a year. San Diego receives its share of rain and thunder, but these events occur very rarely. The weather is about as perfect as it can get, but that doesn’t mean you can walk around in a tank top and board shorts every day of the year. During the winter, it can get cold enough in San Diego that a heavy jacket is required. During the summer, some days a jacket is needed, but most days you can get away with board shorts and a tank top. People complaining about the weather San Diego are not grudging on the same level as those people complaining about weather in New England. Southern California has bright, sunny weather a majority of the time. If you’re looking for that, you’ll enjoy the climate here in San Diego.

A++++ San Diego Sunshine!

A typical San Diego day is around 72 degrees with a slight breeze and all the sunshine anyone can need. It is typically this type of day from late June to mid October. After that the winds and rain kick in, but there will be an occasional sunny day. Christmas and Thanksgiving are notorious for being the hottest days of the season!

Weather Is Awesome

The weather is San Diego is awesome. It's practically sunny year round and it hardly ever rains. There's always time to hit the pools or beach after class. The only downside is when it gets unbearably hot during August and September. Plus, the nice weather can make it very tempting to skip class. Overall, it definitely beats places with a lot of snow or rain!
