With approximately 325 days of sunshine a year, it's hard to find a bad time to visit. The winters in LA tend to be mild and wet but rarely snowy, with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s. Summer brings highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s.

February is the wettest month and August is the driest, hottest month. The coastline sees temperatures about five degrees cooler than inland year-round, thanks to a cooling effect is caused by the marine layer. July and August are the best months to enjoy the beach, but September and October are best for enjoying all that the city has to offer, when clear, sunny days and little fog are the norm.
