LA's reputation for perfect weather is mostly earned — but the microclimates will trick you. I packed for Santa Monica's 22°C and froze in Pacific Palisades' morning fog. September is the secret heat wave: 30°C inland, smoggy, oppressive. Pack layers even in summer — the marine layer keeps the coast 5°C cooler than 5km inland. May and October are my favorite windows: clear, 23°C, less traffic. Skip July-August if you're beach-phobic; the crowds at Venice are intense. December-March is underrated — 18°C, empty hiking trails, occasional dramatic rain.
