June gloom in September? Deep marine layer envelops Los Angeles region
Briefly

Mike Wofford, a meteorologist, indicates that the current weather pattern in Los Angeles is unusually cool for September, resembling a climate more typical of June. He notes that a low-pressure system off the coast is contributing to this phenomenon, resulting in a denser marine layer that’s stretching into the valleys, creating a deep fog in some areas of Los Angeles. This unusual weather brings significant cooling, about 10 degrees lower compared to earlier September temperatures.
Wofford explains that while this weather pattern might not be entirely unheard of for September, it is more reminiscent of late spring and summer climates. He points out that although some drizzle has been reported over the past few days, the chances of significant rainfall remain low, as the marine layer isn’t expected to generate heavy precipitation, keeping the forecast wet but not significantly rainy.
According to Wofford, coastal areas are expected to see temperatures only reach the 60s and low 70s, which is well below the historical averages for this time of year in Los Angeles, especially after an early September heat wave that pushed temperatures into the triple digits. He also mentions that this cooler weather trend is expected to continue until early next week, providing a temporary reprieve from the prevailing heat.
