Los Angeles is an adventure travel destination for holiday goers of all ages. There is a list of things to do in the city. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a Los Angeles private tour, you will find plenty of locations to visit. Like every place, there’s always something different to do. Best time of the year depends on what your travel interests are.
Some people think that the Los Angeles climate is warm and sunny all year long. This is indeed largely true, although there still are four seasons. Holiday goers are mostly seen in the summer months – this is the time when the clouds are clear, room rates are very high and scenic spots are overcrowded. However, room rates are quite affordable in the winter months, which is why winter is considered the best time to visit Los Angeles. January and February receive the heaviest amounts of rainfall, little as it may be. March and April are the spring seasons and fall comes between September and November. Fall is the best time to visit Los Angeles if you are looking for fewer crowds. It is definitely not easy to figure out the best time of year for visiting Los Angeles but we can certainly give you some information that may help.
Weather
Los Angeles has variable weather conditions. Summer may be unbearable inland, whereas the beaches are usually cool and most comfortable.
Beaches experience morning foggy weather conditions in the summer months.
Smog levels are considerably higher in the summer months than in winter or at any time of the year, but the air conditions are better and healthier at the beach locations.
Autumn and spring experiences reverse wind conditions. Instead of flowing toward the sea, the winds start running away from it, making it uncomfortable for a person to stay in hydrated areas near the beach.
Winter months near sea locations are colder than you might otherwise imagine, reaching the highest temperature of 68F (Fahrenheit) and in the summer rising to 78F.
January and February receive maximum amounts of rainfall. But that doesn’t imply continuous rainfall for the entire season. You may encounter two days of rain without much of a break and then the Sun will be out again.
April and October have the clearest of skies and moderate temperature conditions.
The November and December months have cooler temperatures, generally in the mid-60s and lows in the upper 40s, and higher rainfall, although not as much as in January and February.
