June gloom to linger across SoCal all week

With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today. 

It's official — June gloom is here.

Quick Facts
    • Today’s weather: Patchy drizzle, overcast
    • Beaches: 65 - 70 degrees
    • Mountains: 74 - 81 degrees
    • Inland: 77 - 84 degrees
    • Warnings and advisories: Beach hazards

It may look extra dreary today thanks to a late season storm moving into Southern California from the northwest. The National Weather Service says there's a small chance of thunderstorms, mainly west of the mountains and in the desert in the afternoon into the evening. Most areas will likely see patchy drizzle in the morning.

Expect another cool day with temperatures around 65 to 70 degrees at L.A. County beaches. The valley communities could range between 71 and 81 degrees.

Orange County will see highs in the 70s, and the beaches will be on the chilly side with temperatures in the mid-60s. Inland Empire temperatures could reach the mid-80s.

The Coachella Valley can expect highs in the upper 90s.

Strong surf

Strong rip currents and high surf will hit our beaches — that includes L.A., Orange, Ventura county beaches and the Malibu coast. High surf could reach up to 6 feet tall for southwest facing beaches. These conditions will last until the afternoon.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
