Los Angeles wakes up to patchy coastal fog this Tuesday, June 23, with skies clearing to mostly sunny and a high near 83°F — but the National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for the LA valleys and interior coastal areas, so time your outdoor plans carefully.
Today’s Setup
Fog hangs around through roughly 11 AM, with a small onshore eddy possibly delaying clearing in some neighborhoods. Once it lifts, light south-southwest winds of 0 to 10 mph take over and conditions turn pleasant. NWS forecasters note heights running about 6 dam above normal — that’s why valley communities like the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys could approach the low-to-mid 90s this afternoon.
Best Window To Be Outside
Midmorning to early afternoon is your sweet spot. Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon hikers should head out by 9 AM. Beach crowds will find the coast gorgeous once the marine layer burns off around midday. A cooling neck towel is worth tossing in your bag if you’re spending extended time outdoors, and a kiddie splash pad is a great call for backyard fun this afternoon.

Heat & Storm Risk
The Heat Advisory covers the LA valleys and interior coastal areas of LA County. The NWS specifically noted that high visitor volume and numerous outdoor events countywide are elevating heat-illness risk — hydrate early and often.
There’s also a low (~10%) chance of an isolated shower or storm near the eastern San Gabriel Mountains this afternoon and evening, but most of the metro stays dry.
