Today will be the coolest day of the week during the day as a warming trend is in store, but come nightfall expect cooler temperatures.

Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: partly cloudy, warm
  • Beaches: low 70s
  • Mountains/deserts: 60s-70s/62-72
  • Inland: low 70s

Average temperatures along the beaches will be in the low 70s, down to 68 in Huntington Beach. In downtown Los Angeles expect a high of 74 degrees.

Over in the valleys, the average temperatures will range in the low to mid 70s, up to 75 in the warmest areas. Inland, expect a high of 73 in Anaheim and 75 degrees for Riverside and San Bernardino.

Nighttime lows will drop to the low 50s, and the 30s for the Antelope Valley.

Taking a look ahead: Temperatures will rise daily for the rest of the week for a warming trend. And the National Weather Service says that come Wednesday, windy gusts will hit the Inland Empire.

This day in history

On this day in 2022, an atmospheric river hit SoCal, prompting urban flooding and swift water rescues in Ontario and Anaheim.

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.
