Even though January is considered to be a rainy month in Los Angeles, the city can be relatively warm with partly sunny skies. Bear in mind that the rainy days might happen in Los Angeles throughout January. Fortunately, the showers occur in short periods. The weather feels more like spring: the mornings might be cool, afternoon temps range in the twenties or even higher, and the nights might be chilly. Although the nearby San Gabriel Mountains are fully covered with snow in winter, you'll rarely meet even a grain of snow in LA. In general, you'll mostly need a comfortable summer outfit during your January trip to LA. Another good idea is to bring a sweater or light coat with you to cope with unstable weather. Umbrella or light waterproof poncho will also be to the point.

February is one of the coldest and wettest months of the year in Los Angeles. However, a bit spring-like feeling with less rain and sunnier days still can follow you from time to time. Comparing to European winter, the weather in Los Angeles is rather warm and pleasant throughout a month. Even though the sea temperatures remain chilly, you still have a chance to catch a burst of sunshine on the beaches. February also faces nearly six days of rain and nearly zero days of snow. The skies will remain notably clear for the rest of the month. Coastal areas seem to be a bit colder than the inland, so plan accordingly if you chose February as a month for a trip to LA. Bring warmer clothes for cooler evenings and lighter outfits for the day time promenade. As the risk of rain is quite high, mind packing an umbrella or rainwear with you.

Balmy weather of March makes it a lovely time to visit Los Angeles, with temps climbing slightly higher over February's. The spring-like and sometimes even summer-like air temperatures are pleasant enough for tanning. However, the ocean waters are still a bit cool for swimming. It can be even hot in the afternoon, but the early morning and overnight temperatures are typically lower. There is also a slight risk for you to face the rain showers, so an umbrella might come in handy. Even though the weather in LA is mostly mild in March, pack a windbreaker or warm hoodie to cover yourself in the cooler mornings and evenings. The warmer days demands from you to bring summer clothes as well as a pair of comfortable walking shoes. Sunglasses and a hat are also desirable.

May can be a perfect time for a trip to Los Angeles as it is substantially drier than April and with less rainfall. Just two days in the whole month—who would have thought? You might not even need packing an umbrella! The daily temps reach the twenties and get down only at night. While traveling in May, you'll meet clear skies along with nearly 13 hours of pleasant sunshine to enjoy sightseeing and outdoor activities. The ocean is just started to warm up, so you'd better be limited by playing in the sand or sunbathing. Clothes made of light material like linen shirts or t-shirts will be suitable for your May trip to Los Angeles. Packing a warm jumper in case of a cool evening will also be a good idea.

Choose light and comfortable clothes like t-shirts, shorts, dresses as well as sandals when you are packing for a trip to LA in July.
