Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There are hardly any complaints on campus about the weather in San Diego. It is usually wonderful. The winters are mild, and there is hardly any rain. Fall, spring, and summer are warm and sunny. This can lead to quite a shock when students leave San Diego after being spoiled by the great weather for the last four or five years.

The worst month weather-wise in San Diego is June, when the June Gloom descends over the coast, and it is cloudy, chilly, and gloomy for most of the month. However, the wonderful weather the rest of the year makes up for one gloomy month. UCSD students can be found at the beach in January and February or in July and August. The consistently nice weather makes it easy for students to plan ahead, as they never need anything warmer than a sweatshirt. UCSD is so close to the coast that even in the summer months it never gets too warm. Basically, the weather is perfect!

Beach Side

The weather in La Jolla is excellent. Our campus is literally across the street from the Pacific Ocean, so on hot days we get the perfect cool breeze and get to enjoy the wonderful beach.

Great Weather

UCSD has great weather because we are so close to the beach. Occasionally it will be overcast, but most of the time you could be wearing shorts and a tank top and you would be fine.
