Geez, for the airport seems to get A LOT of 90F+ days for a station so close to the 60F ocean with its seabreezes |
the ocean is not as cold as you state it, averages 70s during late August early Sep (closest beach to fullerton) Newport/Laguna/Huntington etc. |

Just a little bit, that's an understatement and a half. The place averages 68F in the coolest months, so half the month over 80F+ is pure crap. Your friend's weather station is inaccurate and not representative of the area.

12 days at 79F at above is NOT half the month at 80F or above. It's close, but it's not fully true, so you're exaggerating.

Also when you said the average for this winter was 80F.
Also when you said the beaches average 80F in summer.
Also when you said downtown LA itself averages 90F in summer. |

cant i ****ing round to even nice numbers
Burbank averaged 78F (daily Max) so I rounded to 80, big deal
Check Torrance, Palos Verdes, Long Beach, Seal Beach, San Pedro, Willmington, for ****'s sake even Laguna Beach for crying out load (check his averaged on Weather Channel)
LA Downtown is Downtown not USC, I know its close by but not exactly same climate, Urban heat/car traffic in DTLA (proper) plays a big role in increased temps. |

Why not round to 100F? That's an even number too.

These are reliable, valid data:
OXNARD, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
SANTA MONICA PIER, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
LOS ANGELES WSO ARPT, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
NEWPORT BEACH HARBOR, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
OCEANSIDE MARINA, CALIFORNIA - Climate Summary
That's pretty much the whole coast from Oxnard down through LAX all the way to Oceanside. There's one beach in there that averages 80F for a single month only. To say "the beaches average 80F in summer" is a gross exaggeration.

I don't see what's wrong with the LA Civic Center station? The weather there looks nice! Why lie about it? |

I crave winter temp stability, and it is almost non-existent in the eastern 2/3 of the US.

Yeah, that is one thing about the US (East of the Rockies) I dislike; the only lands there that have winter stability are the inland portions of Central/South Texas ( Austin, San Antonio, Laredo, etc), the Texas Coast and barrier islands (Houston/Galveston, Corpus Christi,etc), Lousiana Coast and Delta ( New Orleans metro), extreme coastal Mississippi, and Alabama, the entire state of Florida, and Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina east of the Appalachians( Brunswick, Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Cape Hattaras).

San Clemente, Dana Point, and Laguna Beach data are all identical, hence from the same station. Moreover, the average for the summer is less than 80F, so you've just proven yourself wrong.
Palos Verdes Estates and San Pedro are also from the same station. And this station (as you point out) never even reaches 80F, so it clearly cannot average 80F. Again, you've shown yourself to be mistaken.
The overwhelming amount of data disprove your assertion that the LA beaches average 80F in summer. This is just not true. Any data you provide serve only to weaken your argument. You may as well be trying to prove 2+2=5. |

Stats say those beaches have summers in the 80s ( with exception of palos verdes I included it to show it is close, off by two degrees), who are you to say that those readings are wrong any ways, again I will believe these sources rather than you |
