Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. March through May and September through November are the most pleasant and crowd-manageable months. June is marked by the 'June Gloom' coastal fog that clears by midday most days. July and August bring consistent sunshine and warm temperatures, 24C to 30C, with beach traffic peaking at Santa Monica and Malibu. Fire season runs from late September through November in some years, occasionally affecting air quality and access to the Santa Monica Mountains and Griffith Park. December through February sees the award season (Golden Globes, Oscars), cooler temperatures (12C to 18C), and the best time to visit Disneyland and Universal Studios without summer peak crowds. The Rose Bowl Parade on January 1 in Pasadena draws massive crowds. LA Pride in June and Coachella (April) in nearby Palm Springs are major events that fill the city and affect accommodation availability.
