Los Angeles braces for a sudden cooldown after record warmth
Southern California’s unseasonably warm winter is finally drawing to a close. After over a week of highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, cooler air will push into the region by midweek.
Temperatures in downtown Los Angeles will drop into the low 70s starting Tuesday. The shift marks a clear break from the recent stretch of warm conditions. By Wednesday, coastal areas will see even cooler readings, with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s.
A slight chance of light rain arrives Wednesday night and lingers into Thursday. While showers are expected to remain light, they could bring a brief change in weather patterns. Forecasts for the weekend will be updated by local agencies, including the National Weather Service San Diego and Los Angeles offices. The cooler spell, however, may not last. Early indications suggest temperatures could climb again by next weekend.
The return to milder conditions follows an extended period of above-average warmth. Residents can expect a few days of cooler weather before another potential rise in temperatures. Official updates on weekend forecasts will come from regional weather services.
