Los Angeles opens the week sunny and warm, with a high near 91°F away from the coast and patchy morning fog that burns off by late morning — a good day to knock out errands or a workout early, then ease off once inland heat builds in the afternoon.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office says high pressure remains parked overhead, keeping this dry, sunny pattern locked in through midweek. Expect the usual coastal marine layer and fog near dawn, clearing to sunshine, with a low around 68°F overnight and light winds at 0 to 10 mph out of the southwest.
Best Window To Be Outside
Morning is the sweet spot, before the marine layer clears and inland heat ramps up. Beach mornings at Santa Monica or Venice stay comfortably cool under the lingering fog, while hikers at Griffith Park or Runyon Canyon should aim for a sunrise start before temperatures climb.
Heat And Wind Risk
The bigger story is inland: the lower mountains and far interior are running 100 to 110°F, with Heat Advisories and Extreme Heat Warnings in effect there through Wednesday, per the NWS. Coastal areas and valleys stay milder and trend down 1 to 2°F each day this week. Afternoon onshore flow will also kick up gusty winds, with gusts near 35 to 40 mph possible in the Antelope Valley.
What To Wear Or Bring
Light layers and sun protection are the move for a near-91°F day. Heading out fishing? The UPF 50+ Sun Hoodie deal is worth grabbing first. Golfers teeing off midday should pack a golf cooler bag insulated, and anyone logging miles around the Rose Bowl or the Strand should grab running shoes men and a portable misting fan for after.

Tonight’s Dinner
Clear skies and warm evening temps make it a great night to fire up the grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob — an instant-read meat thermometer and a grill brush and scraper set help with cleanup and doneness. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Tuesday looks nearly identical, high near 90°F with a low around 66°F. Forecasters expect another slight cooldown along the coast and valleys through Wednesday while inland heat continues, with the pattern holding into Thursday before the upper high strengthens again Friday.
