It is IMPOSSIBLE for downtown LA to have an average high of 80 degrees in winter--who the hell came up with that stinkin' piece of fiction????
The weather reporting station for downtown LA which the NWS uses has been on the USC campus since 1999, which is some 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean, which serves as nature's method of keeping LA temperatures very moderate year-round.
LA's weather can also be described as 'Goldilocks weather' if you will; not too hot, and not too cold.
The average high for Palm Springs for March 20th is 80 degrees, and that's over 100 miles to the east in the middle of a desert, so if you want 80 degree weather around here during the winter, Palm Springs is your best bet, and has been for decades.

it was meant for average daily high for January, for example it averaged 78F (Burbank) for the daily max average, 2 degrees short of 80, so I guess it not so impossible.
The average high & low temps for Burbank from the same website for Feb. 9th are 68 & 43, as opposed to 67 and 50 for downtown LA, and 73 & 49 for Palm Springs; LA is obviously milder year-round than either of those two cities since they both get a lot more sunshine than downtown LA does, which explains the moderate and arid weather that LA enjoys year round.
January, February & March are also the three wettest months in LA historically speaking, so the probability of 80 degree weather and rain is what you'd expect in a city with a substantially more humid climate, soif you want weather like that during the winter months, head for Florida or Puerto Rico.

did you bother looking at the link, i'm talking about Jan 2013, not all Jan historically
Perth winter look awful because of this high amount of cold rain, if the rainfall pattern where reversed with warmer summer night, it would be a much better climate.

Perth at times gets summer (warm) rain with some thunder. It's not that common, but they do. LA never does I hear. And I thought you like summer rain.
Perth easily. It's one of my favourite climates in the world.
