Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

San Diego is nicknamed "Sun Diego" for a reason. Flip-flops can be worn year-round, and when everyone else in the country is battling snowstorms, students can get through San Diego’s mild winters with just a light jacket. However, as winter approaches, nights can get colder than most people would expect. The first weeks of the fall semester are notoriously the hottest, which can make move-in weekend a pain, so make sure to bring a fan and lots of shorts and T-shirts. Rain is not very common here, but when it pours, students often complain about having to walk through it and are tempted to skip class. Then again, this is also the case on warm spring days, when a trip to the beach is on everyone's minds.

Mornings and nights are the chilliest, so layers of clothing are most efficient. Foggy mornings can make getting out of bed difficult, but by mid-morning on most days, the sun shines through. Nights cool off fast, which can be annoying when you want to go out and don’t want to lug around a jacket or extra layers, but just keep telling yourself that at least you don't have to trudge through snow!

The Sun Always Shines :)

The majority of the time we get sunshine and at night the temperature drops slightly but is still mild. On occasion we get a spot of rain but it's never for long and not too cold!
