Downtown Los Angeles woke up Wednesday, June 10, 2026 to a shallow marine layer and patchy fog, with temperatures hovering near 626F this morning. A shift toward weaker onshore flow and building high pressure will shove the mercury into the upper 80s, with a high around 876F expected today and sunny, dry conditions inland by the afternoon.
Afternoon Heat And Who Feels It
Inland neighborhoods and the valley will feel the biggest warmup, while spots right on the water hang onto cooler air. The National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard is calling for highs near 876F in Downtown LA and even hotter numbers across Central Coast valleys, where downsloping winds have triggered Heat Advisories for parts of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties today from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you live or work in those advisory zones, it is a good day to shift outdoor labor and workouts to the morning or evening.
Morning Fog, Then Clear
Patchy fog is clinging to beaches and the immediate coastal strip this morning but should burn off inland by late morning, leaving mostly sunny skies through the afternoon. Tonight, expect areas of patchy fog to redevelop after about 11 p.m., especially along the coast, so beachgoers and early commuters should plan for brief visibility issues near the shoreline.
Beaches, Boats And Rip Currents
A High Surf Advisory remains in effect for south-facing beaches through Thursday evening, with surf building to 4 67 feet and local sets to 7 610 feet 6 hazardous swimming and strong rip currents are likely. Small Craft Advisories are posted for portions of the outer waters into tonight, and boaters should be ready for choppy seas and the potential for gale gusts early this morning. The National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard outlines which stretches of coast and offshore zones are included, along with detailed safety guidance.
Stay Cool: Where To Go
If you do not have air conditioning or plan to be outside during peak heat, stick with the basics: stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., and check on heat-sensitive neighbors and pets. Los Angeles County keeps a running list of cooling centers and heat safety resources at Ready LA County, and you can also call 2-1-1 to track down nearby options. Bring plenty of water if you are heading to beaches or parks, and do not leave children or pets in parked cars during the warm afternoon hours, even for quick stops.
Quick Take
Sunny afternoons and mild evenings should hold through Friday, with a slow cooldown sliding in over the weekend as the marine layer creeps a bit farther inland. There is a slim chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm over the eastern San Gabriel Mountains Friday or Saturday evening, but for most of Downtown LA the forecast stays dry.
