Los Angeles is heading for a mostly sunny Sunday with a high near 84°F, and it’s a solid day for anything outdoors from Griffith Park trails to the beach before temperatures climb even higher later this week.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office says high clouds streaming overhead early this morning disrupted the usual marine layer, meaning fewer coastal low clouds today than Saturday. Expect those high clouds to burn off through the morning, leaving mostly sunny skies and a south-southwest wind around 0 to 10 mph. Tonight cools to a low around 62 to 63, with the marine layer forecast to reestablish overnight into Monday morning — patchy fog is likely after 5 AM PT.
Best Window To Be Outside
Midday through late afternoon is your best stretch, once any lingering high clouds clear. If you’re heading to Runyon Canyon or the coast for a hike or paddle, aim for late morning past 10 AM PT once any patchiness clears. Monday brings patchy fog before 11 AM PT ahead of another mostly sunny afternoon near 83°F — so plan beach mornings a little later in the day this week.
Rain, Wind, Fire, Or Heat Risk
No rain is expected — precipitation chances sit at 1-2% through Monday. The bigger story is the warm-up: the NWS says strong high pressure building aloft will push highs into the 80s to mid-90s away from the coast starting Monday, with some valleys nearing 100°F by Tuesday and heat advisories possible midweek. Onshore winds could gust up to 35 mph in the Antelope Valley and foothills through Monday, plus evening Sundowner winds — good reason to keep a UV protection sun hat and moisture wicking undershirts men in the rotation as temperatures climb.
What To Wear Or Bring
Light, breathable layers work today, but pack sun protection since UV exposure is strong even under partly cloudy morning skies. If you’re at Dodger Stadium tonight for the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres game (July 5), it’ll be warm and dry for first pitch — great tailgating weather. Grab a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey or Los Angeles Dodgers fitted cap before the Dodgers host the Colorado Rockies July 7-8, and check tickets on SeatGeek if you’re headed down. Music fans should note Hilary Duff plays the Kia Forum July 8 — a Hilary Duff t-shirt makes a fun addition, with tickets on StubHub still available.

Dinner Idea
With warm, dry air lingering into the evening, a light dinner works well tonight — pasta or a quick stir-fry are both easy, versatile picks that won’t leave you overheated in the kitchen. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Monday stays similar with patchy morning fog and a high near 83°F, then the NWS expects a clear warming trend Tuesday through Thursday as high pressure strengthens and onshore flow weakens — get ready for LA’s first real heat stretch of the week.
