Currently in Los Angeles — October 12, 2023: Abundant sunshine

The weather, currently.

The marine layer did not make much of an appearance yesterday in Hollywood, leading to abundant sunshine yesterday and temperatures in the upper 70s. Expect a similar day today, before another warm up again by the weekend. While this won’t be the Santa Ana event from last week, temperatures will return to the 80s away from the coast. Gotta love it.

We are in a climate emergency.
