What to Expect from Los Angeles in June
Early summer brings the least clear skies during the year because of coastal fog, but you'll still get sun more than half the time. With the rainy season over, there's little chance of precipitation. Evening fog comes in suddenly and can feel especially cold. And all the moisture in the air can mix with pollutants and turn into smog.

What Pack, What to Wear in June
In June, Los Angeles beach areas are prone to lingering fog caused when the ocean's natural moist air stays inland. Called "June Gloom" for a reason, it can keep the sun at bay all day long. It keeps thing chilly and damp, too - and you'll be glad you brought that extra layer if you're out in it.Even if the gloom is gone, pack a jacket for evening near the water. Short-sleeved shirts and lightweight pants are fine most of the time and shorts are comfortable, especially away from the coast.
