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.

A cooling trend will begin today, with near to below normal temperatures the rest of the week.

Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Warm, sunny
  • Beaches: 70s
  • Mountains: 80s/90s-104
  • Inland: 80s-90s
  • Warnings and advisories: none

Highs along the coast will be in the mid 70s and with no beach advisories, it'll make for a nice beach day.

In downtown L.A., highs will be in the mid 80s. In the valleys, the average temperatures will reach the mid 80s, but the hottest parts will still see highs in the low 90s, including the Inland Empire and Riverside area. Over in Orange County, the highs will drop to the mid to upper 80s.

Things to do

Check out our full list of things to do this week.

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.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
