Los Angeles weather today is sunny and 75°F—a genuinely pleasant late-April day that’s calling you outside. This is exactly the kind of weather that makes our city special, and the National Weather Service forecasters are confident it’ll hold through the afternoon with just light south-southwest winds at 0 to 10 mph.
If you’re heading to Dodger Stadium for the Dodgers vs. Miami Marlins game tonight, you’re in luck. First pitch is at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, and conditions will be ideal for baseball—clear skies, temps dropping to the low 50s by game time, and virtually no rain threat. Pack a light jacket for late innings, grab some Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support, and snag tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub if you haven’t already.
For those planning to hike Griffith Park or Runyon Canyon, Tuesday morning is your sweet spot. The weak offshore flow mentioned in the National Weather Service forecast discussion means minimal marine layer, so visibility will be excellent from the Hollywood Hills. Bring plenty of water and consider an SPF 50 sunscreen—UV index will be moderate to high even with the seasonal temps.
Allergy season is ramping up this time of year, so if you’re sensitive to spring pollen, grab an allergy relief nasal spray or a pollen count face mask before heading outdoors. The light winds mean pollen won’t be blown around aggressively today, but it’s still worth being prepared.
Golfers should absolutely get out there this afternoon. Conditions are nearly perfect for the links—calm winds, clear skies, and temps in the mid-70s. If you’re thinking about upgrading your game, check out our Best Golf Rangefinders Under $300 guide for some solid equipment deals.
For dinner tonight, a simple grilled meal works perfectly with this weather. Fire up a portable propane grill if you’re tailgating or heading to the ballpark, or keep it light with a fresh pasta or stir-fry at home. You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered—grab some fresh vegetables and your favorite proteins to make tonight easy.
Looking ahead: Wednesday stays sunny with a high near 73°F and similar light winds. By Wednesday night, partly cloudy skies move in with lows around 55°F. The National Weather Service indicates isolated showers are possible over the interior and mountains Wednesday afternoon, but the coast and valleys will remain dry. This is shaping up to be one of LA’s better weather stretches—enjoy it while it lasts.
