Our weather symbols tell you the weather conditions for any given hour in the day or night.This means that the symbol for 09:00 shows you what you will see from 09:00 to 10:00.
Chance of precipitation represents how likely it is that rain (or other types of precipitation, such assleet, snow, hail and drizzle) will fall from the sky at a certain time.
This number shows the air temperature for the time period. You can see the temperature in Celsius orFahrenheit by using the dropdown menu.
Feels like temperature considers other factors, such as wind speed and humidity. This gives you a betteridea of how the temperature will actually feel at the time.
Wind gust shows the highest wind speed that you should encounter at that time, as winds peak andlull.
Strong winds are shown in bold for speeds of 29 mph or more.
The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing. The letters show the direction the wind is blowingfrom (on a standard 16-point compass).
The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time.
The arrow shows the direction of the wind (up is north). If the arrow points from land to sea, the windwill be blowing out to sea (‘offshore’). The number is the average wind speed.
Beware of offshore winds if you are using inflatables, paddle boards or kayaks. These winds can blow youout to sea. Read more about how wind will affect you at the beach.
Visibility measures the distance at which an object can be clearly seen.
| VP (Very Poor) | Less than 1 km |
| P (Poor) | 1.1 km to 4 km |
| M (Moderate) | 4.1 km to 10 km |
| G (Good) | 10.1 km to 20 km |
| VG (Very Good) | 20.1 km to 40 km |
| E (Excellent) | Greater than 40 km |
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. If there is a lot of water vapour, the humidity will behigh. The higher the percentage of humidity, the wetter it will feel outside.
UV exposure index and the protection required to help keep you safe:
-No risk of UV - It’s safe to stay outside.1-2Low - You can safely stay outside. Consider sunscreen in direct sunlight.3-5Moderate - Take care during midday hours and do not spend too much time in the sun unprotected. Sunscreen advised.6-7High - Seek shade during midday hours, cover up and wear sunscreen.8-10Very high - Spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm. Shirt, sunscreen and hat are essential.11Extreme - Avoid being outside during midday hours. Shirt, sunscreen and hat essential.
This is the average height of the waves, 1-2 miles out to sea. The height of the waves can vary. Theindividual waves out to sea or at the beach can be higher than this number. If you are close to thewater, keep an eye on the waves to stop you or your belongings being swept away.
Read more about calculating the expected height of the waves at the beach.
This is the average number of seconds between one wave and the next, 1-2 miles out to sea. A long waveperiod (more than 10 seconds) means the waves at the beach may be more powerful. Lifeguards can give youadvice on waves if you’re planning to go into the water.
Read more about the period of waves.
The arrow shows the average direction of the waves 1-2 miles out to sea. It indicates how sheltered thebeach will be from these waves. If the arrow points towards land, most of the waves’ power will reachthe beach. If the arrow is parallel to or pointing away from land, the wave height is likely to be loweron the beach than it is offshore.
Lifeguards can give you advice on waves if you’re planning to go into the water.

As a weather enthusiast and expert, I can confidently analyze the provided seven-day forecast for Los Angeles. My depth of knowledge is rooted in meteorology, allowing me to interpret the information presented in the forecast with precision.
The forecast includes detailed information such as weather symbols, chance of precipitation, temperatures, feels-like temperatures, wind direction and speed, wind gusts, visibility, humidity, and UV exposure index. Let's break down each concept used in the forecast:
-
Weather Symbols:
- Symbols provide a quick overview of the weather conditions for each hour.
- They represent a combination of factors like precipitation, cloud cover, and overall weather conditions.
-
Chance of Precipitation:
- Indicates the likelihood of rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation.
- Higher percentages imply a greater probability of precipitation during the specified time.
-
Temperature:
- Represents the air temperature in degrees Celsius for each hour.
- It shows the expected atmospheric temperature at a particular time.
-
Feels Like Temperature:
- Takes into account additional factors such as wind speed and humidity to convey how the temperature will be perceived.
- Provides a more realistic sense of the weather conditions.
-
Wind Direction and Speed:
- Shows the direction from which the wind is blowing, using standard compass points.
- Includes the average wind speed in miles per hour.
-
Wind Gusts:
- Indicates the highest wind speed expected during a specific time.
- Important for understanding peak wind conditions.
-
Visibility:
- Measures the distance at which objects can be clearly seen.
- Described in units such as Very Poor (VP), Poor (P), Moderate (M), Good (G), Very Good (VG), and Excellent (E).
-
Humidity:
- Represents the amount of water vapor in the air.
- Higher humidity percentages indicate a wetter atmosphere.
-
UV Exposure Index:
- Provides a measure of the strength of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
- Advises on the level of protection required, ranging from "No risk" to "Extreme."
-
Additional Information:
- Information on wave height, wave period, and wave direction is included, though these are more relevant to beachgoers.
- The forecast also provides information on potential risks, such as strong offshore winds.
Understanding these elements allows individuals to make informed decisions based on the weather conditions. It's essential for planning outdoor activities, travel, and ensuring overall safety. If you have specific questions or need further clarification on any aspect of the forecast, feel free to ask.
