Los Angeles, CA is soaking up sunny skies today, Monday, July 27, with a high near 89°F — and it’s also the last day of the current NWS heat advisory, so get your outdoor plans done early and ease up by mid-afternoon.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office says a strong upper-level high parked over the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles is keeping the region hot, with onshore flow strengthening through the afternoon. Overnight lows stay mild around 68°F with mostly clear skies and light south winds. The good news: forecasters expect a degree or two of cooling Tuesday and Wednesday (high near 88°F Tuesday) as drier air moves in from the northwest, which should make the heat feel noticeably more comfortable even with sea surface temps keeping humidity a touch above normal.
Best Window To Be Outside
Morning is your friend today. With 0% chance of rain and winds staying under 10 mph, it’s a great setup for a fishing window at the coast before the afternoon warms up — pack a West Marine ski vest if you’re heading out on the water. Golfers should aim for an early tee time too; the calm SSW breeze holds off until later in the day, so golf weather is at its best before lunch.
Heat Risk And Timing
The AFD notes hazardous heat levels persist today across parts of the region, with some areas running 95–101°F and elevated humidity — a reminder that LA’s microclimates matter, with the Valley typically running well hotter than the coast or downtown. Keep a cooling neck towel and an insulated water jug 1 gallon handy if you’re out mowing, hiking Griffith Park, or working outside midday.
What To Wear Or Bring
Light, breathable layers and sun protection are the move — check out this $5 UPF 50+ Sun Hoodie deal if you’re heading to the beach or out fishing this week.

WWE Monday Night RAW hits the Intuit Dome tonight — grab tickets on SeatGeek if you’re heading out. The Los Angeles Angels host the Houston Astros at Angel Stadium starting Tuesday, July 28, with sunny, 88°F gameday conditions and light winds — solid tailgating weather.

The Phantom of the Opera plays the Hollywood Pantages Theatre Tuesday, July 28, and Motionless In White brings The Sweat and Blood Tour to the Kia Forum Friday, July 31 — find tickets on StubHub and grab a Motionless In White t-shirt before the show.

Tonight’s Dinner
With clear, dry conditions all evening, it’s a perfect night to fire up the grill — burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob all work great. An instant-read meat thermometer and a grill brush and scraper set will make cleanup and doneness a breeze. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Expect slightly cooler, drier air Tuesday and Wednesday with highs near 88°F, before the NWS long-term outlook calls for heat building back up Thursday through the weekend as the upper high shifts toward Arizona and strengthens.
