The Allure of Summer in Los Angeles
For many, the sun-drenched days and balmy evenings of July and August epitomize the quintessential Los Angeles summer. The gorgeous beach weather beckons tourists from around the globe, luring them to the city’s famous coastal stretches. The vibe is electric, the city buzzes with activity, and the beaches, from Venice to Malibu, are filled with life.
Yet, as vibrant as these summer months are, they also bring immense crowds. At Open Air Homes, we want to share a well-guarded local secret. While the traditional summer months may be the popular choice, the true magic of Los Angeles’ summer weather unfurls in September.
As of today, August 1st, we still have a number of great properties available for rent to take in the warm second summer air of September, so please contact us (add contact link) to find the perfect option for you and your family or group.
L.A.’s Second Summer: The Enchanting Spell of September
In Los Angeles, September is known as the ‘Second Summer’. This month brings with it an extended summer experience that rivals, if not surpasses, the traditional June to August period. It’s an unexpected gem, providing idealistic conditions that make it the optimal time to experience the city in all its sunny glory.
The crowds of tourists have receded, leaving the beaches spacious and tranquil. The weather retains its summer charm, often with perfect heat that lingers long into the evening. It’s not uncommon to find locals and clued-up visitors taking a sunset swim, reveling in the warmer waters and serenely beautiful surroundings. This idyllic scene is a testament to the unique allure of Los Angeles in September.
The Role of Climate Change
While the charms of September in Los Angeles are undeniable, it’s important to acknowledge the role of climate change in these changing weather patterns. Over the past decade, Los Angeles has experienced an extension of its summer conditions into September, a phenomenon attributed to global warming.
While the effects of climate change are far from ideal, they have inadvertently contributed to creating some of the most exceptional weather conditions Los Angeles has seen in recent years. However, it’s a reminder of the need for sustained environmental consciousness and action, even as we enjoy the unexpected benefits.
