Los Angeles Tennis Weather by Month

Updated November 2026. Tennis City Los Angeles

Los Angeles has tennis weather most of the year. The two things to plan around are hot inland summer afternoons and winter rain.

Average highs and rain

NOAA’s 1991-2020 averages for Downtown LA and LAX:

January: Downtown 68°F, LAX 66°F; Downtown about 3.3 inches of rain
April: Downtown 72°F, LAX 68°F; under an inch of rain
July: Downtown 82°F, LAX 75°F; almost no rain
August: Downtown 84°F, LAX 77°F; almost no rain
October: Downtown 79°F, LAX 74°F; about half an inch
December: Downtown 67°F, LAX 66°F; about 2.5 inches

Downtown gets about 14 inches of rain a year and LAX about 12, almost all from November to March.

Summer

Near the coast, summer highs stay in the mid-70s. Inland, and especially in the San Fernando Valley, afternoons are hotter, so play in the morning or evening. Courts with evening hours and lights, such as Westwood, help. Bring more water than you think you need, a hat and sunscreen.

Rain

Outdoor courts close when wet. If you booked a pay court, the city’s booking site says there are no refunds, so check the forecast before you book in winter.
