How to read Los Angeles climate normals

What a climate normal is, and what it is not.

A normal is the average of thirty years of daily observations at one station — here Los Angeles Downtown/Usc, 6.9 km from the centre of Los Angeles. It describes a typical year, so any single year will run warmer, cooler, wetter or drier. Readings taken at an airport on the edge of town usually sit a degree or two below a dense downtown on summer nights. Los Angeles sees about 21.4 days a year at or above 90°F and about 23.1 days with a tenth of an inch of precipitation or more.
