Los Angeles
With a mix of smog, sunshine, and very little precipitation, Los Angeles offers mild temperatures throughout the year – with highs over 90 degrees only 12 or so days out of the 365. There has been a recorded high temperature of 113 degrees in 2010 and a low of 24 degrees recorded back in 1944, but such extremes are rare occurrences. The downtown area receives, on average, 15 inches of rain per year. Earthquakes are another thing to take into consideration.
