TRAVEL TO LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles weather
The sea and mountains around Los Angeles coastal basin act
against the extreme summer heat and inland winter cold. Los Angeles and the small towns integrated in Los Angeles, have
mild weather conditions, with some differences: spring and
summer times in the San Fernando Valley - Burbank, Sherman Oaks,
Van Nuys, etc. - are hotter than Los Angeles downtown, or Beverly
Hills, Hollywood and Mid-Wilshire districts. And coastal places
as Malibu, Santa Monica, and Venice are yet more cooler.
Los Angeles most
popular period
Any time is good to visit Los Angeles,
but the Summer is special.
July through early October is the most popular period to
visit Los Angeles. Outdoor living (concerts,
music, eating, biking...) and beach life are mainly centred in
the rainless summer months.
Los Angeles smog
And
yet Los Angeles is often affected by a known and
unpleasant weather phenomenon in the period between June and
October: urban smog, a combination of fog and pollution due to
cars and industry, which is often a cause of
air-quality
alerts.
WHEN NOT
TO GO TO
LOS ANGELES
If you want to
avoid smog
then avoid the period between June and October.
If you you want less crowds
and lower prices in accommodation and other services, then do
not choose the summer. Instead, choose March, April and May, or
the period between September and November. If you want less
packed periods, avoid also the major holidays. Thanksgiving is a
specially packed period, with much higher accommodation prices.
If you want to avoid especially packed days, weeks and weekends,
then do not travel to Los Angeles in Thanksgiving and in Presidents' Day weekend (February), Easter
week, Memorial Day weekend (end of May), the Fourth of July,
Labour Day weekend (September), Christmas, New
Year's, and other holidays .
Winter
storms are usually brief and winter's blue and sunny skies are
very frequent. But winter
is always the rainy season (it rains an average of 6 days per
month in
Winter)
which you may want to avoid...
Note:
Los Angeles nearby mountains are magnificent and perfect for
skiing in Winter.

HOTELS, TOURS AND
FLIGHTS
Location of your accommodation is important in your
Los Angeles visit. Los Angeles is a very large city and you risk
spending too much time in transports if you choose a peripheral
hotel. Hollywood is a district where you will easily find
central and budget accommodation (though some streets are rather
insecure at night).
Downtown is a good bet for accommodation, as well as Santa
Monica, Venice and Malibu (these last places are very good
options: they are near LAX airport, they are well served by
public transports connecting them to other Los Angeles districts,
they are fresher and less subject to summer smog and they allow
full security and plenty of outdoor activities and beach life).
