Los Angeles weather live

The hourly and seven-day forecasts help with everything from the commute to a day at the beach. Los Angeles sits on the Pacific coast of Southern California, between the ocean and the mountains, which gives it a mild, sunny climate.
Los Angeles's climate
Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. For much of the year the weather is sunny and rainfall is rare, with almost all of the year's precipitation falling between late autumn and early spring. Summers are warm and dry, cooled near the coast by the sea breeze and the marine layer — low cloud and fog that often rolls in overnight and burns off by midday. Inland valleys, shielded from the ocean, can be far hotter. A distinctive local feature is the Santa Ana winds: hot, dry gusts that blow from the desert toward the coast, sharply raising temperatures, lowering humidity and heightening wildfire risk, especially in autumn. The mountains ringing the basin also trap air and create strong contrasts between the coast, the valleys and the hills. Winters are mild, and freezing temperatures are essentially unknown near the coast.
Air quality and UV in Los Angeles
The page also shows air quality (US AQI, PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂) and the UV index. The basin is prone to smog: on warm, stagnant days ozone and particulates can build up, especially when the mountains trap the air, while sea breezes and Santa Ana winds clear it. Under strong California sun the UV index is often high; together with sunrise, sunset and day length, it is worth watching sun protection.
