Los Angeles’s climate

California, United States · 34.05°N, 118.24°W · America/Los Angeles

Los Angeles has a warm Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine. Winter days are mild, around 20°C in January with nights near 9°C, while August highs reach about 29°C downtown, and inland valleys can be as much as 20°C hotter than the coast on the same day.

Coastal low cloud, known as May Gray and June Gloom, often holds back early-summer warmth, and hot, dry Santa Ana winds can bring spells of 29-35°C heat even in winter.

Switch between daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views to compare a single date, a rolling week or month, or a full year. Dates are resolved in Los Angeles's own timezone (America/Los Angeles), not yours.
