Move the rain from Dec-Feb to Oct, Nov, Mar and Apr. Fill Dec-Feb with snow. Cool down the summers and get rid of the smog.

I don't mind the heat in summer & I live in Pasadena [90F from July-Oct] but when it gets humid it is miserable. I do wish we had summer rain to clean the air & feed the plant life. I love our winters but this spring is too chilly lately.

I'd trade seven days of 12% RH Santa Anas for seven of those hot, somewhat muggy, monsoonal summer days in August.

You can't have it both ways. Rain + high summer temps = more humidity.

Yeah, the change kicks in during late September & the air really drys out but the temp can soar. LA has a long summer.

The thing with the Santa Anas isn't the heat, it's the dry skin, itchy, tension, door knob shocks, edginess that affects my mood, gets on my nerves. Windy at night, harder to sleep. And Santa Anas always hit when I get my first nasty chest cold of the season so colds are harder to get rid of.

Foggy is the opposite: calming, relaxing, dampening.

Default Is "May Gray/June Gloom" only for the coastal areas or for inland LA as well?

Does inland LA (downtown, Pasadena) also have the cold summer in May/June like the coastal areas? I thought there are microclimates in LA and quite different from coastal to inland. Can someone shed light on how much difference? Thanks!

It all comes down to how far an area is from the ocean or if a mountain is between you and the ocean. 70's beaches\ 80's in the basin\ 90's in the valleys. Though May is probably 5-10 degrees cooler than June. I think the worse heat is in the San Fernando valley, esp around Woodland Hills\ Granada Hills [often close to 100F]. It is hot in the San Gabriel valley also but not that hot. Once you get out to Santa Clarita\ Inland Empire it is very hot [95F-100F]. That's why everyone wants to live near the beach.
