College Prowler Take
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!

The weather is ordinary and not diverse. There are no seasons, and the leaves on the trees never die.

The weather is pretty much how you would expect San Diego weather to be—mostly sunny and warm, with a couple weeks out of the year kind of mild and cold. |

It can be cloudy and overcast a lot since we are so close to the ocean (less than five minutes), but when it is nice, it is absolutely beautiful. Right now the weather is sunny and around 70. |
