The climate of Los Angeles (California
- United States of America)
Los Angeles, the city of Angels, is located on the west coast of the
United States in the state of California. Los Angeles has a warm
Mediterranean climate with spring-like winters and warm summers. The
amount of hours of sunshine per day is high all year round. This part
of California has fairly low precipitation figures. Most precipitation
falls during the winter. Snowfall and glazed frost are uncommon in Los
Angeles. However, the weather is not always as nice as shown in movies
and series on television. Especially in January and February there are
chances of a few days in a row with gray and wet weather. A striking
fact is that the weather during Christmas is almost always spring
like. The feeling of a white Christmas which is shown in most
Hollywood productions is something that does not occur in real life.

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:
