Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Morning clouds then sunny
  • Beaches: 70-75 degrees
  • Mountains: 75-83 degrees
  • Inland: 81-88 degrees
  • Warnings and advisories: None

The first day of fall is a couple weeks away (13 days, but who's counting?), and SoCal is already getting a taste of autumn this week as temperatures will drop into the 80s and even the 70s in some places.

Wake up to morning clouds and foggy conditions closer to the coast, but come this afternoon, the clouds will part for some sunshine.

Inland and valley areas will feel that relief. Highs for L.A. County valleys and the Inland Empire will stay mostly in the mid-80s, with the warmest areas reaching up to 88 degrees.

For L.A. County beaches, temperatures will stay in the low to mid-70s, and areas around downtown L.A. will warm up to 81 degrees.

The Orange County coast will see similar temperatures, with highs up to 78 degrees and up to 80 degrees for inland areas.

Coachella Valley will still be warm, with highs from 96 to 101 degrees.

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.
