You know so much about California's laws, I thought you lived here.

No, in fact Los Angeles is fairly dry most of the time and sometimes even very dry particularly during Santa Ana winds (dry winds blowing off the desert). It can get dry enough that some people experience dry skin problems (like me) and dry sinus symptoms.

If you are thinking about moving to LA and worried about humidity, quit worrying. Humidity is not a problem here.

Bone dry in the summer, esp. inland.

Warm, dry summers, and mild, somewhat wet winters.

Like Fontucky said......Mediterranean climate:
Mediterranean climate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asking is it humid in LA is like asking does it get hot in Alaska.....

I moved from Florida to California and the humidity difference is quite dramatic. 80 degrees in Florida feels like you're in a sauna. 80 degrees in California is great. The only time there is any real humidity here is in the winter, where it rains sometimes... but even during the winter we have beautiful warm and dry days.

So as far as hot and humid is concerned... it pretty much doesn't exist in California as far as I know.

Just to be completely accurate, humidity goes up to 80 or maybe even higher when it's raining, which is of course only to be expected. That's usually on a cold, chilly or really cold day so the humidity while it's raining is not a bad thing.

Not great... Perfect! LA 80 degrees is what I call a perfect day!


I wonder how many more answers the OP is going to get. It looks to me like every aspect of LA's humidity (or lack thereof) has been fully discussed. I think the OP got his (or her) money's worth!

Factually correct.

It is very humid near the coast, and just about always too. "Near" means within two miles.
