The City of Angels is set to enjoy a week of typical SoCal weather, according to the latest extended forecast. Los Angeles can expect to bask in the sun today with temperatures peaking at a comfortable 74 degrees. While the day kicks off with light winds, residents should anticipate them to pick up, hitting speeds of 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon. As night falls, the breeze will ease up and the city will see increasing clouds, potentially leading to patchy fog after the witching hour, with lows hovering around 55.

The fog is predicted to linger into the early hours of Wednesday before dissipating, leaving behind a cloudy morning that will gradually clear up. The maximum temperature should rise slightly to 76 degrees. A calm wind turning west-southwest is on the cards, making for a gentle breeze throughout the day. Wednesday night will mirror preceding evenings, with the return of the fog post-11pm and similar temperatures as the night before.

Thursday's forecast promises more of the same, with morning fog giving way to mostly sunny skies and highs of around 73 degrees. Things may get slightly breezier with an east wind transitioning to south southwest in the afternoon, and possible gusts reaching 15 mph. The perennial fog will reappear late Thursday night amidst mostly cloudy conditions and a low of 56 degrees.

On Friday, Angelinos should again prepare to navigate through fog before 11am. But the skies will clear to unveil a mostly sunny day with the thermometer pushing towards a slightly warmer 77 degrees. Friday night to Saturday appears to be a carbon copy, with fog after dark and lows remaining unchanged.

The weekend forecast is a mild one with Saturday and Sunday bringing more sunshine following the dissipation of the early morning fog, hitting consistent highs of 77 degrees. Overnight, the city can anticipate a touch of fog and clouds with temperatures dropping to the upper 50s.

Entering the new week, Monday keeps up the pattern, with patchy fog clearing to leave behind mostly sunny skies and highs settling back to 74 degrees.

This gently predictable pattern of weather presents Los Angeles with a consistency that rarely demands a second thought for residents pondering whether to carry an umbrella or don a jacket. The detailed forecasts were published on the National Weather Service's website as of the early hours of May 7th, 2024.
