Humid Morning Across Los Angeles If it feels unusually sticky outside this morning, you’re not imagining it. Humidity is elevated across Los Angeles Thursday morning, with Downtown L.A. sitting around 64% humidity shortly after 5 a.m. and a dew point of 66 degrees — making for a noticeably muggy start to the day. One reason for the extra humidity is the much warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures off the Southern California coast. The unusually warm Pacific waters are adding more moisture to the atmosphere, contributing to the muggy conditions across the Los Angeles Basin. There is some good news when it comes to the heat. Downtown Los Angeles is now forecast to reach around 96 degrees today, a few degrees cooler than earlier forecasts that had Downtown approaching 100 degrees.
