Will The Weather In Venice Cooperate For The 4th?

VENICE, CA — Don't forget to double check the weather forecast before setting a time for that Fourth of July barbecue.

The heat has been quickly rising in Los Angeles as the summer holiday rolls around, but nothing could ruin a trip to the beach like a cloudy sky or a light drizzle.

Fourth of July weather will be hit-or-miss throughout the country, but Southern California will dodge rainfall affecting other parts of the country, according to AccuWeather.

Venice will enjoy cool and sunny weather this holiday weekend, with highs of 71 Saturday, 69 on Sunday and 70 Monday. There is a negligible chance of rain throughout the weekend.

Be sure to pack the sunscreen, as the ultraviolet index will be an extreme 12 for the entire weekend.

Drought conditions will persist throughout California through the holiday weekend, prompting warnings and bans on fireworks to avoid wildfires.

Fireworks of any sort remain illegal throughout the city of Los Angeles.
