Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Morning clouds then sunny
  • Beaches: 70-78 degrees
  • Mountains: 75-83 degrees
  • Inland: 78-84 degrees
  • Warnings and advisories: None

We hope you soaked in the pre-fall vibes while they lasted because a slow warming trend is coming back this weekend into next week.

Today will be at most two degrees warmer than yesterday but stay relatively fresh. L.A. and Orange County beaches will continue to see high temperatures in the 70s, topping out at 78 degrees.

L.A. County valleys and the Inland Empire will stay in the mid 70s and top out around 85 degrees for the warmest areas.

And in Coachella Valley, daytime highs will stay in the mid 90s.

Looking ahead, temperatures will rise between two and five degrees across the region, with warmer temperatures for the inland areas. The National Weather Service says there's a chance there could be a heatwave next week.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive before year-end will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
