Historical weather data, all-time temperature records, and monthly climate averages for East Los Angeles, CA. Explore typical weather conditions by week for trip planning, and see how today compares to the historical record.
April 5th is about as typical a spring day as East LA gets, with average highs of 71° and just a 15% shot at rain. That said, history has a wild range on this date — from a sweltering 105° in 1989 to a chilly 42° low back in 1921.
East LA can run hot — seriously hot. The all-time record of 113° set in September 2010 is a reminder that late summer heat waves here are no joke, while the other extreme, a 28° freeze in January 1913, feels almost surreal for Southern California. Snow is essentially a myth here, with just 0.3" ever recorded in a single day.
East LA is a year-round mild city, but there's still a real rhythm to the seasons — highs climb from the mid-60s in January to a peak of 84° in late August, then ease back down through fall. If you're chasing rain, the last week of December averages the most precipitation at 0.9". Otherwise, plan for sunshine: even the "coolest" week of the year averages a perfectly comfortable 66°.
