Los Angeles kicks off Tuesday, June 9 under a blanket of patchy coastal fog that burns off to mostly sunny skies by 11 AM PT, with a comfortable high near 78°F — a perfect setup for hiking Griffith Park, hitting the boardwalk, or catching one of this week’s many big events. Check the full Los Angeles weather forecast as a warming trend builds through midweek.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service says the marine layer fog clings to the coast and coastal valleys through about 11 AM, then south-southwest winds of 5 to 10 mph help it clear out and sunshine takes over. Expect mid-70s near the beach and a touch warmer in the Valley. Tonight cools back to around 59°F with mostly cloudy skies returning.
Best Window To Be Outside
Late morning through late afternoon is your sweet spot. Beach-goers heading to Santa Monica or Venice should wait until midday for full sun — the marine layer makes mornings feel damp. Once it burns off, though, it’s hard to beat: pack a women’s swimsuit and enjoy one of those early-June afternoons that remind everyone why they live here. The National Weather Service expects this fog-then-sunshine pattern to hold through the end of the week, with the marine layer trending shallower each day.
This Week’s Events — Biggest Lineup in a While
Tonight, RUSH: Fifty Something rocks the Kia Forum under clearing skies — temps drop to the low 60s by the time you head home, so bring a RUSH hoodie for the parking lot. Get tickets on SeatGeek if you still need them.
Wednesday brings Rod Stewart: ONE LAST TIME to the Hollywood Bowl — with a sunny 82°F forecast, that open-air amphitheater will be stunning. Also Wednesday and Thursday, the Los Angeles Angels host the Houston Astros at Angel Stadium in Anaheim under warm, clear conditions perfect for tailgating. Find tickets on StubHub and show up in a Los Angeles Angels jersey to rep the home squad.

Rain, Wind, or Heat Risk
No rain in the LA basin through midweek. The National Weather Service notes a warming trend as high pressure builds offshore — inland desert areas could approach triple digits by Wednesday, but the coast and San Fernando Valley should stay in the comfortable upper 70s to low 80s. Sundowner winds are expected in western Santa Barbara County today, but Los Angeles proper is not in the advisory zone.
Next Few Days
Wednesday: sunny near 82°F, the warmest day so far this week. The warming trend continues as that offshore high locks in. It’s a great stretch to browse outdoor gear deals or fire up the backyard grill — with Father’s Day around the corner, a Father’s Day grilling set makes the occasion and the weather work together.
For tonight’s dinner, a light pasta primavera or quick stir-fry is a great match for this mild June air. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
