Los Angeles weather today brings partly sunny skies and a high near 68°F, with southwest winds at 0 to 10 mph—perfect for getting outside, though you’ll want to layer up for the cooler marine influence moving in from the coast.
That deep marine layer the National Weather Service is tracking has already settled in overnight, keeping temperatures crisp around 57°F. Today, expect mostly cloudy conditions near the beaches and coastal neighborhoods like Santa Monica and Malibu, while inland areas—downtown LA, the San Fernando Valley, and toward Griffith Observatory—will see more sunshine break through by afternoon. The marine layer is about 2,000 feet deep right now and won’t fully clear, so don’t expect beach temps to climb much above the upper 60s.
If you’re heading to Angel Stadium in Anaheim to catch the Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Mets today at 1:10 PM PT, you’re in for pleasant baseball weather. Bring a light jacket for the early innings and a hat for the afternoon sun.

Tailgating conditions are ideal—no rain expected, just cool, light winds.
Monday stays cool and partly sunny with highs near 68°F again, though the National Weather Service mentions a slight chance of drizzle overnight Monday into Tuesday as an upper-level low approaches. The mountains and foothills have the best chance of seeing light rain; most of LA proper will just see extra clouds and maybe some patchy drizzle. By Wednesday, drier and warmer weather takes over for the rest of the week.
If you’re planning a hike at Runyon Canyon or Griffith Park this weekend, Sunday afternoon is your best window—go midday when temps peak and clouds thin out.

If you need ingredients delivered quickly, you can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door. Stock up on fresh vegetables and pasta to keep things simple.
Looking ahead, keep an eye on Monday night and Tuesday for any drizzle, especially if you’re heading to the Netflix Is A Joke Presents: Shane Gillis & Friends show at the Hollywood Bowl on Monday, May 4th—bring a light rain jacket just in case. Conditions clear nicely by mid-week.
