The weather section of the LA Times takes up over half a page. Half a page of newspaper is a lot of space for a city where the day-to-day change in the weather is under five degrees. So, why half a page?
There are five micro-climates here: the LA Basin (which I usually think of as Downtown), the Valleys, the Beaches, the Mountains and the Deserts. So each of those areas has it's own forecast. Then, they tell you about the air quality, the tides, the surf, the UV index, the almanac information, and the rise and set times for both the sun and the moon. There's also a list of highs and lows for about 30 California cities.
Next to all of that is the weather in North America, with a long list of highs and lows for US cities, and a shorter list of information for world cities. I think this section exists solely to prove to Angelinos that actual weather does exist elsewhere in the nation and the world.
What's the upshot? The weather at my house (in the beaches section of town) will be mid-70s all week, with varying small amounts of clouds.
Just like last week.
