Los Angeles is in for a weather rollercoaster this week! Get ready for a mini heatwave, with temperatures soaring into the mid-to-upper 80s (and even low 90s in some spots) by Wednesday.
But don’t get too used to it—cooler weather and rain are moving in by Sunday. If you love the sunshine, enjoy it while you can!
What’s Happening This Week?
Summer in February? Almost!
- Wednesday: Hot and sunny, with highs hitting 91°F (33°C)—which could break the old record of 88°F from 2002.
- Thursday: Still warm, around 86°F (30°C), tying the record from 2020.
- Friday: Cooling down slightly, with a high of 73°F (23°C).
Why So Hot?
A high-pressure system is acting like a heat dome over California, trapping warm air and keeping temperatures 10-15 degrees above normal for a few days.
Weekend Cool-Down (And Possible Rain!)
By Saturday, the heat wave is out. Temperatures drop, and clouds start rolling in.
- Saturday: Comfortable 71°F (22°C), partly sunny.
- Sunday: Highs around 67°F (20°C), with increasing clouds and a chance of rain.
Rain chances increase late Sunday into Monday, so keep an umbrella handy!
How to Stay Cool (Then Stay Dry!)
During the Hot Days:
Drink lots of water—dehydration sneaks up fast.
Stay out of the sun during peak hours (11 AM – 3 PM).
Wear sunscreen and light clothing to keep cool.
Check on pets, kids, and elderly neighbors—this kind of heat can be dangerous.
For the Rainy Weekend:
Outdoor plans? Keep an eye on the forecast.
Roads will be slick after weeks of dry weather—drive carefully!
Looking Ahead
- The heat peaks midweek, then fades by Friday.
- A cool, rainy pattern takes over by Sunday.
- Next week? More normal LA weather—highs in the upper 60s.
For now, enjoy the sunshine, but don’t put away your jacket just yet—change is coming fast!
