Los Angeles residents can expect a mostly sunny end to the year with temperatures hovering in the low to mid-60s, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. The clear skies and mild winds are set to continue through the weekend before a chance of showers disrupts the pattern midweek. "TodayMostly sunny, with a high near 61. Northeast wind around 5 mph becoming west in the afternoon," announces the NWS on their website.
The calm weather conditions are to persist into the night, with temperatures predicted to drop to the low 40s. For those making plans for Sunday and Monday, they can anticipate "Sunny, with a high near 64" on Sunday, and "Sunny, with a high near 66" on Monday, as reported by the National Weather Service's detailed forecast. The consistent, gentle northeast winds will make for pleasant days ahead. However, moving into Tuesday night, things begin to shift as the NWS forecasts "Mostly cloudy, with a low around 51."
The middle of the week might call for umbrellas as the forecast indicates "A chance of showers," hitting Los Angeles by Wednesday, with potentially more widespread rainfall expected in the evening. New Year's Day is not spared by these predictions, as "Showers likely" could make for a damp beginning to 2026. While these predictions may put a damper on some holiday festivities, it also brings some respite to the dry conditions often experienced in Southern California.
As we look further ahead, the unsettled weather pattern appears to be continuing, with showers likely to persist through the end of the week. "Showers likely, mainly after 10pm," the NWS warns for Wednesday night, with similar conditions expected to roll into New Year's Day, "Showers likely. Cloudy, with a high near 63". Those making plans for the first week of January should take note of the potential for rain and prepare accordingly.
Despite the forecasted shift in weather, the temperatures remain relatively mild for this time of year, hovering in the 60s—a typical trend for the Los Angeles winter climate. Residents and visitors should stay tuned to updates from the National Weather Service as they seek to navigate the final days of 2025 and the first steps into the new year.
