Hourly Temperatures in LA
 
V.Quick question.

Scoured the internet for hourly temperatures in LA for a typical day across each month e.g 10am.....1pm...6pm

All i can find is Average and Max High and Max Low which isn't what I want.

Can anyone direct me or even tell me this information.
Granted LA is large so looking around Beverly Hills, Central area

I know summer is generally 20C in the morning, moving to 30 at lunchtime.
Eager to know Oct - April mostly

thanks

I've only seen average and high-low data so I doubt the data is readily available at the granularity you're looking for.

If you have the average high-low data you could work out a rough pattern, rising from the low around 6-7am in roughly 8 hourly increments to a high around 3pm, then cooling in roughly 12 steps down from around 5-6pm.

Can you tell us why you're looking for such specific data? :unsure:

Wanted to know as we're bringing pets who ideally don't want hotter than 22C

..... but 22 C is only 71 F.......... so your animal is going to hate LA summers, where it typically (away from the beach) is high 70's to mid 80's

This week it's forecast to be up to 87 F.

Your AC will be blowing a lot then. Here in Boston, it's 21c when we wake up and up to mid 30's during the daytime. I shudder to think how hot LA gets in the summer.

Wouldn't the "high" temperature reading give you this information? If you don't want to go above 71F, you definitely don't want to be in LA, unless you're planning to keep the dogs inside with the AC cranked. And if you're going to do that, then the outside temp is irrelevant.

Sounds like he wants to know how many hours it's going to be above 22°C each day. Unfortunately that doesn't include the heat-sink effect of the house structure, which will continue to pump heat into the house long after the sun has gone down.

Yes exactly wanted to know typical hours it will be above 22. Heat sink is also the term I've been looking for. Completely understand and preparing for he times its above 22, will want AC on for myself and the wife anyway so should be ok. Will be fine outside of the summer months

I am not sure you appreciate the heat and the amount of time that you'll have to keep the AC running to keep the temperature inside down to 22°C, that is a pretty low temperature for a home, unless you're JerseyGirl. For at least three months you could be running the AC almost 24/7, say 20 hours a day, which is going to lead to some scary utility bills. :eek:

Also what are your contingency plans if high temperatures and high power demand lead to brown-outs, which plague California from time to time, and especially during periods of high temperatures? :unsure:

Polar bears?

22c is only 71.6F, which is pretty cool to keep your home at 24/7.
Rather than cool your whole home to 22c, 24/7, you might consider an independent AC unit to cool just one room where you can leave your pets when you are out of the home yourselves.

I lived in CA for 18 months and the home didn't have AC, it was never uncomfortable.

Here in TX we run AC a lot :nod: We have separate zones for cooling. When we are both out we only cool one part of the house, which includes a large room for the dogs with direct access to the fenced front garden through a dog door. Most of the time the dogs are basking in the sun, whilst the AC runs up my electric bill :confused:

AC bills in the summer is no more of an impact than UK central heating bills in the winter?
Temp' questions also for myself to be comfortable. Won't need to be on a night unless absolute necessary

Totally disagree that 22 is a pretty low temp.

All of them. May to October.

10am-7pm. For nearly all the remainder of the year.

Wanna bet? I think you're going to have a not very nice surprise. That said, I've just had a brand new heat pump installed, and our house is set to 21c from 1600 until 2300 each day. Costs around $150 pcm in Boston.
