Downtown Los Angeles is waking up to a sticky but cooler Wednesday, with temperatures around 68°F before sunrise and a partly sunny afternoon expected to reach about 83°F. The cooldown arrives after July’s heat-alert stretch, and milder weather should hold through the end of the workweek.
Cooler Through Friday
The National Weather Service is calling for west-southwest winds of up to 10 mph and only a 1% chance of rain Wednesday. Thursday should be slightly cooler, with a high near 80°F and an overnight low around 64°F, while Friday stays sunny and near 80°F.
Weekend Sunshine Returns
Temperatures begin climbing Saturday, reaching about 82°F, then rise to the mid-80s Sunday through Tuesday. Overnight lows will remain comfortable in the low to mid-60s, with mostly clear or partly cloudy skies. The forecast marks a sharp change from the heat advisory coverage Hoodline reported in July.
Gray Mornings Possible Near The Coast
Coastal neighborhoods may wake up under low clouds or fog, and the marine layer could clear slowly in some spots. Downtown should still see a brighter afternoon, with light winds and no meaningful rain threat in the forecast through Tuesday. For outdoor plans, Wednesday’s cooler temperatures look considerably friendlier than the recent heat, though a light layer could be useful early in the day.
