The climate of Venice Beach (California
- United States of America)
Venice Beach is located in the western part of
Los Angeles County in
California. Venice Beach is located on the Pacific Ocean near the
popular beach destination Santa Monica. Venice Beach is the most
popular beach of California. Mainly because of the beautiful beaches
but also because of the many canals that flow through the city. Venice
Beach was named after these canals. Many Hollywood productions were
filmed in Venice Beach. A few big names from the music industry
praised Venice Beach in their songs. It is said that The Doors formed
their band on the beach here. Because of a unique current Venice Beach
is very popular among surfers. Venice Beach has a mild Mediterranean
climate with more than 300 sunny days per year, just like most coastal
regions in California. The dry summers are caused by a semi permanent
high pressure area which remains stationary off the coast of Venice
Beach and above the more northerly located places in California. This
also causes cloudy skies not to release their rain until they have
traveled a few miles into the interior. At the end of spring and
during the summer Tule Fog is not uncommon. This type of fog forms
during the night and early morning and dissolves during the afternoon.
The rainy season is from November till April. This region only gets
about 120 millimeters (4.7 inches) of annual precipitation. However,
floods may occur when large amounts of rain fall in a short period of
time. During the summer there is a risk of forest fires because of the
extreme drought.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
