Los Angeles, California – A classic summer heat pattern will settle over Southern California to begin the work week, bringing consistently warm and sunny conditions to the region. Residents can expect temperatures to climb near 85 degrees on Monday, signaling a dry and bright start for millions. This persistent warmth will define the week, urging Angelenos to plan for sun-filled afternoons and take precautions against the heat.
According to the National Weather Service, sunny skies will dominate through Tuesday. Southwest winds will move through the area on Monday at 5 to 10 mph, with some gusts reaching up to 15 mph. While no immediate advisories are in place, the clear skies and direct sun will make for high UV exposure. Officials recommend using sunscreen and staying hydrated, especially during the peak heat of the afternoon. The pattern remains stable until a notable shift arrives late Tuesday.
A change in air moisture will introduce patchy fog to the region after 11 p.m. Tuesday. This marine layer intrusion, often called “June Gloom,” could create areas of low visibility for early morning drivers by Wednesday. Commuters on major roadways like the I-5, I-10, and US-101 should prepare for potentially slower travel times. The fog is expected to burn off by 11 a.m., giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high of 84 degrees.
This pattern of morning fog followed by afternoon sun will continue into the Juneteenth holiday on Thursday. The high will cool slightly to 81 degrees, providing pleasant conditions for any outdoor activities planned for the afternoon. The trend of foggy mornings and sunny days is set to last through Friday, with the weekend bringing slightly cooler temperatures into the upper 70s.
