Los Angeles Weather

They say it never rains in Southern California. And if you go by Los Angeles’ weather, that statement is nearly true. L.A.’s rainfall comes to only 15 inches or so annually, with most of it occuring between November and March, leaving the summers relatively dry.

Because Los Angeles covers such a wide territory, temperatures vary by region. Average summer temperatures are in the 80s near Downtown, but you can usually count on it being 10 degrees warmer in the San Fernando Valley, and 5 to 10 degrees cooler near the beaches. In the winter, the scenario reverses. Downtown usually has an average high in the 60s or 70s, and the San Fernando Valley’s temperatures usually dip 10 or more degrees below that.
