Los Angeles, California – Southern California is expected to trend warmer as February begins, with temperatures climbing above late January levels and a continued lack of significant rain across the region during the first full week of the month.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, temperatures across Southern California are expected to run near to above normal from Monday through Friday, while precipitation remains near or slightly below seasonal averages. This pattern supports extended dry periods rather than organized storm systems.
Regionwide, the warmer setup reflects a broader West Coast shift that limits Pacific storm activity. While overnight temperatures may still cool quickly in inland valleys, the absence of strong systems reduces concerns for widespread travel disruptions or flooding issues.
In the Los Angeles metro area, daytime highs are expected to rise steadily through the week, creating favorable conditions for commuting and outdoor activity. Coastal areas should see mild afternoons, while inland locations warm more noticeably under mostly clear skies. Any rain chances appear brief and isolated at best.
Residents should remain mindful of dry conditions, particularly in foothill and canyon areas where fire weather concerns can increase during warmer stretches. The National Weather Service notes outlooks will continue to be refined as February unfolds, and updated advisories could be issued if the weather pattern shifts.
