Warm, sunny days and cool nights are the LA standard. The temperature doesn’t usually go above 90 or below 50 degrees during the school year. September and May can be uncomfortably hot for students who don’t have air conditioners, but people usually cope, especially those of who hail from less-tropical parts of the world. While the desert climate is usually arid, summers can be muggy. June is the only cloudy month of the year, although LA’s notorious smog tends to cast a slightly dark hue over the sky. Rain showers are most common in the winter, but they only last for a day and always wash away the smog until the hustlers and bustlers paint it gray again. In recent years, however, January and February have been real rainy seasons, so it’s off and on each year.
When the temperature gets unbearably high, the beach is nearby, and when it gets cooler than usual in late winter, the snow-capped mountains that surround the city are open for skiing and snowboarding. One of the greatest assets of living in LA is the variety of trees and flowers that remain colorful throughout the winter months.

Perfect Weather
The weather is always perfect! It is sunny most of the time and it rarely rains so it's easy to get to class. People like to spend time out in the grass a lot.

It's the Golden State for a Reason
The sun is always shinning, so the weather always keeps your mood in check and the sun keeps the afternoon warm. It often gets a bit chilly during the fall and winter, but it is still bearable.

Our Weather Rocks!
Aside from the first month which is un-godly hot for California, our weather here is perfect. Today was a "cold" day and it was 68 degrees. However, when it rains, people act like the world is ending and don't go to class.

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
