Climate:
Los Angeles is situated in a Mediterranean climate or subtropical zone,
experiencing mild, reasonably wet winters and warm to hot, mildly humid
summers. Generally the weather is dry during all seasons, but can be
relatively cold in the winter. Breezes from the Pacific Ocean tend to keep
the beach communities of the Los Angeles area cooler in summer and warmer in
winter than those further inland, and summer temperatures can sometimes vary
by as much as 25 °F warmer in the inland communities compared to that of the
coastal communities. The coastal communities of Los Angeles are commonly
affected by a phenomenon known as a 'marine layer', a dense cloud cover
caused by the proximity of the ocean, that helps keep the temperatures
cooler throughout the year. Rain occurs mainly in the winter and spring
months (February being the wettest month) with great variations in storm
severity year by year. Los Angeles averages 15 inches (381 mm) of
precipitation per year. It rarely snows in the city basin, but the mountains
slopes within city limits typically receive snow every year. With weather
permitting, it is possible to snow ski and surf on the same day in the Los
Angeles area.
Culture:
The people of Los Angeles are known as Angelenos. L.A. is described as a
"world city". Los Angeles has one of the largest and most diverse
populations of any municipality anywhere. It has the second largest
percentage of foreign-born citizens of any major U.S. city, after Miami. The
Hispanic, Asian American, and Caribbean populations are growing particularly
quickly — the Asian American population is the largest of any city in the
U.S and the city contains the largest concentration of Los Angeles County's
1.4 million Asians. Los Angeles hosts the largest populations of Armenians,
Cambodians, Filipinos, Guatemalans, Hungarians, Koreans, Mexicans, Pacific
Islanders such as Samoans, Salvadorans, Thais, and Vietnamese in the world
outside of their respective countries. Los Angeles is also home to the
largest populations of Japanese and Persians living in the U.S., and has one
of the largest Native American populations in the country. Los Angeles is
home to people from more than 140 countries, who speak at least 224
different languages. Ethnic enclaves like Chinatown, Historic Filipinotown,
Koreatown, Little Armenia, Little Ethiopia, Little Persia, Little Tokyo,
Thai Town, and Little Saigon give testimony to the polyglot character of Los
Angeles and its unique diversity.
Great restaurants of all types are abound in Los Angeles, thus the city is a
fine location for exquisite dining. Many celebrity chefs are also based in
the city. Los Angeles nightlife is also very vibrant, with an immense array
of bars, clubs, lounges, and other venues that cater to all tastes.
Nighttime hotspots include places such as Downtown Los Angeles, Silver Lake,
Hollywood, and West Hollywood which is home of the world-famous Sunset
Strip. Furthermore, the Los Angeles area also boasts a prominent shopping
scene where anything can be bought; some of the best shopping areas include
Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Third Street Promenade and Montana Avenue in
Santa Monica, Old Town Pasadena, the Hollywood and Highland complex, the
Beverly Center, The Grove, Melrose Avenue, and Robertson Boulevard. |
