<p>i know this is a random question but how is the weather in st. louis? are there normally sunny skies? i ask this because my area often gets extremely cloudy winter days when the entire sky is just a shade of white or gray, and it's really gloomy and depressing so I want to go somewhere that gets a good amount of sun year-round :]</p>
<p>St. Louis gets 195 sunny days a year ([St</a>. Louis, Missouri | Where to Live Next | Smithsonian Magazine](<a href=“http://www.smithsonianmag.com/specialsections/where-to-live/st-louis-missouri.html]St”>http://www.smithsonianmag.com/specialsections/where-to-live/st-louis-missouri.html)) </p>

<p>St. Louis can get brutally hot, humid and sticky in the summer…but WUSTL isn’t in session then so thats not a real issue. Move-in day in August might be a sweaty affair though

<p>Fall and Spring are great times to be in St. Louis because the temperature is usually still warm enough to do activities outside (especially exploring nearby Forest Park). As a northerner, I find winter in St. Louis rather mild. It usually is in the 30s or 40s. They consider 20s there pretty cold. You might get one or two snowfalls a year–but they usually melt within a few days to a week. Like most areas in the southern Midwest, St. Louis gets its share of ice as well.</p>

<p>Maybe this helps?</p>
<p>When it’s sunny out, the campus is ridiculously pretty.</p>
<p>But the weather is annoying and a bit bipolar at times. I’m still getting used to it being 20 degrees one day and then 70 the next and then back to 20 during the winter.</p>
<p>Other than that, when it rains, walking to class isn’t all that great, but that’s a given at any school I guess.</p>
<p>Beyond that, I really like the weather here. I specifically wanted a school that wasn’t in the northeast so that it wouldn’t get ridiculously cold (I think the coldest it got here this year was the single digits, but that was only for a day or two). I’ve heard people complain about the humidity at times, but I’m from a much more humid city so I never really notice it.</p>
<p>Just be ready to check the weather every morning in the winter. You look outside and it looks sunny ad nice, but it’s actually 15 degrees. And agreed, the wetaher is bipolar with 70 degrees one day and 20 degrees the next. Beware that with windchill it can go down to like -11 degrees, but then the next day it could warm up a bit. The good thing is that it never stays brutally cold for too long.</p>
<p>that sounds just like texas! the bipolar weather, i mean. here it can be freezing cold one day, and then crazy hot the next. but we only have ice and snow once every few years, so if i decide to go there, that might take some getting used to.</p>
