NOTE: When most weather reporting sources cite weather in Los Angeles (without specifying where, exactly, in Los Angeles), these numbers are typically for the Downtown Los Angeles weather station (actually located on the USC campus).
Reporting for this station typically lags for up to several days.
NOTE: All measures are those officially reported by the National Weather Service (NWS), except when otherwise noted. Typically, NWS reports for this station may lag for up to several days, so recent measures (where noted) are provided by the UCLA Weather Station. These may be quite different from NWS reports, however. When we receive updated NWS data, we revise the table below accordingly.
Rainfall measured in inches
| Date (November) | Rainfall Measured for Day | Month's Cumulative Rainfall Measured |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 0.25 | 0.25 |
| 8-9 | UCLA Weather Station reported zero rainfall on these dates, despite all other or most other Los Angeles County stations reporting rainfall, including stations in relative close proximity. The Almanac suspects a reporting glitch. | |
Note: Daily rainfall, as recorded here, is provided by the UCLA Weather Station. These numbers may be different from later National Weather Service reports.
