The City of Angels rarely ceases to amaze us when it comes to its envious weather, shimmering around in the goldilocks zone. Yet, today, on this 14th day of December 2023, Los Angeles has donned a somewhat serene blanket. Kissing goodbye to the warmth, the metropolis has gleefully welcomed particularly pleasant weather conditions.
Radiating both an urbane and earthly charm, Los Angeles was graced today not by boiling sunshine, but a refreshing temperature range that swung as high 22°C and made its humble descent right down to an invigorating 14°C. A fusion of comfort and ease, everyone from skateboarders to filmmakers, beach bums to suits, basked in the city's stunning, laid-back thermostat.
Under the vast, boundless California sky, strong, playful winds gambolled across the stretch of LA. They swept in, rollicking from the Pacific, smartly brushing aside layers of warmth, leaving a cooler temperature that took everyone by surprise and relief. Obliging sails, rummaging palm leaves, and ruffling summery dresses, these breezy gusts charmed the day at a jolly speed of 7 Km/hour.
As temperatures hummed down, jaws dropped to see only a whisper of humidity lingering at 25%. As the day peeled open, the notes of stuffiness, heat exhaustion, and dehydration were effortlessly missing. Instead, Los Angeles hummed with the rhythm of people for once not combating the meteorological adversity but embracing the firmament's whimsical play.
As LA's crystal-button eye - its proud, radiant sun, unrolled the day at 6.50 AM, the nimble, coloured fingers of dawn brought not a droplet of rain, not a flake of snow. By 4.45 PM, as the city's artificial twinkling started to rise, the sunset's flaming torch, the likelihood of these heavenly showers was still firmly parked at an unlikely 0%.
This rare, golden day lavished LA with a refreshing episode of chilling air and calming breeze. It was a day when stilettos clicked, flip-flops thumped, tires screeched, and surfboards splashed on the city’s avenues, reveling in the embrace of a gorgeous, inviting, and unexpected meteorological plot twist. And so, this day goes down the annals of City of Angel's weather folklore - a page gleaming in unforgettable hues of normal, yet so delightfully different.
