Downtown Los Angeles woke under a thick lid of marine clouds this morning, with low clouds and temperatures stalled in the low 60s. The high is expected to reach about 76°F this Sunday, June 28, 2026, with south to southeast breezes around 5 to 10 mph keeping the shoreline cooler than the inland neighborhoods. Nighttime lows should stay in the low 60s through at least Tuesday, so plan on layering up for early errands and late dinners.
Afternoon Winds And The Marine Layer
According to the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard, the marine layer will stay deep through Tuesday, bringing mostly cloudy mornings and only partial clearing in the afternoons. A few brief spits of drizzle are possible on Monday, June 29, 2026, while the strongest winds focus over the interior mountains and deserts. Most neighborhoods in the city should see only breezy south winds, but foothill routes could still deal with stronger gusts during the late afternoon.
Coastal Waters And Small Craft Advisories
Small Craft Advisories remain in effect for the outer waters and parts of the Central Coast through Monday morning, with short, choppy seas that will be uncomfortable for smaller boats. Beachgoers should keep an eye out for stronger rip currents this afternoon and evening, and boaters are advised to steer clear of exposed stretches of the Santa Barbara Channel until conditions ease.
Late Week Warming Ahead
High pressure is expected to build later in the week, nudging temperatures up a few degrees by Friday and into the holiday weekend. Independence Day on Saturday, July 4, 2026, is shaping up mostly sunny with a high near 79°F, though mornings and evenings should stay cool near the coast. For background on this stretch of June gloom, you can look back at recent coverage.
Plan For Your Day
For commuters, expect low clouds during the morning rush with partial clearing by mid to late morning, so a light layer is still your best friend. If you are heading into the hills, secure loose items and be ready for occasional gusts. If a boat trip is on your schedule, double check the latest marine advisories before leaving the harbor.
