LA weather is dry in summer due to the influence of the Mediterranean climate, while winter resembles autumn weather in Korea. The climate is warm and subtropical throughout the year, with clear weather prevailing except for about 20 rainy days. From June to October, the temperatures are almost the same as summer in our country, but the low humidity makes it comfortable in the shade.

The Mediterranean climate, or Mediterranean climate, belongs to the temperate climate category in Köppen's climate classification, denoted as Cs. Summers are characterized by high temperatures and a dry season due to the influence of the subtropical high-pressure zone, while winters are somewhat warm and wet due to the influence of the high-latitude low-pressure zone. In the LA area, it rarely rains in midsummer. Because a cold ocean current passes through the LA area (the sea water temperature is low, making it hard for humidity to rise), rain clouds cannot form, resulting in almost no rain from July to September.

For those planning a trip or simply curious about LA's weather, I've organized it conveniently in Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (°C). So, let's find out what the weather is like throughout the year!
