LA’s muggy heat: Florida-like humidity grips SoCal nights
TL;DR Summary
Southern California’s summer has grown uncomfortably humid, with dew points around 70–75°F in the LA Basin due to remnants of Tropical Storm Iselle, a months-long marine heat wave, El Niño, and climate change. The moist air traps heat and slows sweating, driving record overnight temperatures and making heat feel worse even when daytime highs aren’t extreme.
