Sunday Forecast
How the Temperatures Compare
The weekend forecast is warmer than a typical June day downtown. According to the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard, Downtown Los Angeles's 1991–2020 June average high is 77.2 degrees, putting Saturday's forecast high near 83 degrees above that monthly normal.
The heat-island effect provides context for why densely built Downtown Los Angeles can be warmer than nearby coastal neighborhoods.
What the June Normal Shows
The June normal is a benchmark, not a record. According to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, a climate normal is a 30-year average calculated over a uniform period. The 1991–2020 figures therefore describe average Downtown Los Angeles conditions, not whether a high near 83 degrees would set a record or how temperatures have changed over time.
Sunday is forecast to be partly sunny, with a high near 82 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
The current official outlook, rather than the earlier Hoodline forecast, is the basis for the forecast details here and points to possible precipitation Sunday and Monday.
Week-Ahead Outlook
The National Weather Service outlook currently runs through Friday.
For Saturday plans, timing is the main consideration: visibility could be limited early by fog before conditions warm later Saturday. Drivers should use extra caution in fog-prone areas, particularly before late morning.
