Los Angeles in March The rainy season is winding down and rain comes and goes. The hills are green after the winter rain, which makes this a good time to hike. Days get longer and clear spells more frequent, so outdoor plans are easier.
March was mild: 21°C by day, 11°C at night, the kind of range where you stop checking the thermometer. Nights ran about 10°C colder than the afternoons, so a layer earned its place in the bag. Out of 31 days, about 4 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. 2 of 20 years had a completely dry March, while 2023 reached 12 rain days.
Highs passed 30°C on 1 day on average. The warmest year was 2015, with highs averaging 26.2°C, 5.2°C above normal.
