Los Angeles is sunny and heating up fast today, Sunday, with a high near 90°F — the hottest day of the week, according to the National Weather Service. If you’ve got errands, a hike, or yard work planned, knock it out before midday and lean on shade and water once the afternoon sun really kicks in.
Today’s Setup
Expect full sun with a high near 90°F and a light southwest wind around 0 to 10 mph. Tonight cools to a low around 69°F under partly cloudy skies. The NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard office notes today is the warmest day of the stretch, and heat advisories and warnings remain in effect through this evening for the valleys and interior areas.
Best Window To Be Outside
Morning is the move. If you’re heading to Griffith Park or Runyon Canyon, aim for sunrise to 9 a.m. before the heat builds. Same goes for a round of golf — tee off early and pack golf shorts men for comfort in the sun. Anglers working the coast or harbor should also fish early, and a UPF 50+ Sun Hoodie deal is a smart, cheap way to cover up for a long morning on the water.
Heat Risk Through Midweek
According to the forecast discussion, onshore flow will strengthen through Tuesday, bringing 2 to 4 degrees of cooling each day — but highs will still run 5 to 10 degrees above normal. There’s roughly a 50 percent chance interior sections stay under heat advisory criteria into Monday, Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. Coastal spots will pick up more low clouds and patchy morning fog as the week goes on, though forecasters say the marine layer stays too shallow to reach the valleys, so inland areas won’t get much relief.
Game Day And Events Around Town
It’s a big sports Sunday: the Los Angeles Angels host the Milwaukee Brewers at Angel Stadium and the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Boston Red Sox at Dodger Stadium, both under hot, sunny skies — hydrate before first pitch and grab shade for any tailgating. Gear up with a Los Angeles Angels jersey or Los Angeles Angels fitted cap, or grab tickets on SeatGeek or tickets on StubHub if you’re heading out last minute. Later this week, Chargers Training Camp continues at The Bolt on Monday, LAFC takes on Chivas Guadalajara in Leagues Cup play at BMO Stadium on Wednesday, and the RÜFÜS DU SOL show lands at Kia Forum on Thursday — a RÜFÜS DU SOL t-shirt makes a fun pickup beforehand. Grupo Frontera plays Intuit Dome Friday and Ed Sheeran’s LOOP Tour hits SoFi Stadium next Saturday.
What To Wear Or Bring
Light, breathable clothing, sunscreen, and water are musts. If you’re firing up the backyard tonight, check out our outdoor gear deals for patio essentials.
Tonight’s Dinner
This is prime grilling weather — think burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob while the evening cools into the upper 60s. An instant-read meat thermometer and a grill brush and scraper set make cleanup and doneness a lot easier. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Monday stays hot with a high near 89°F, and Tuesday should trend a touch cooler as onshore flow keeps building. High pressure holds strong into the weekend, so warmth lingers inland even as the coast picks up more morning clouds each day.
