As Angelenos prepare to say farewell to 2025, the National Weather Service forecasts a week of varied weather for Los Angeles, with sunny skies giving way to potential showers as we edge closer to the new year. According to the extended forecast for Los Angeles, residents can anticipate a high near 69 degrees today under sunny conditions, with a gentle north wind around 5 mph.

Tonight's forecast promises mostly clear skies, and a low around 47 while Monday is poised to bring sunnier climes, peaking at a high near 73. True to Los Angeles' capricious winter character, the gentle East northeast winds of 5 to 10 mph could become west in the afternoon, shifting as unpredictably as the city's aspirations. Monday night will see partly cloudy skies, with a low around 49 and North northeast winds reaching 10 mph, gusts could climb as high as 15 mph.

As Tuesday rolls in, it's mostly sunny with a high near 75, promising another postcard-perfect day for the City of Angels. Residents can expect North northeast winds of 5 to 10 mph, again with gusts as high as 15 mph. However, by mid-week, the weather narrative begins to shift; Wednesday brings a 30 percent chance of showers after 4 pm, amid a partly sunny day with a high near 73.

Wednesday night might see showers before 10 pm, followed by patchy fog setting the stage for a cloud-dominated New Year's Day. Showers are likely after 10am, with a high near 65, beckoning revelers to consider indoor celebrations. The damp pattern is set to continue through Friday, with showers likely and persistent cloud coverage, keeping temperatures hovering around the mid-60s. Saturday maintains this chance of showers, under a consistent shroud of clouds and a high again near 65.

For those mapping out their New Year celebrations or plotting the first week of 2026, these shifts in weather offer a reminder of the city's mercurial climate — a mix of idyllic sunshine giving way to the potential nourishment of winter rains.
