Climate Controls
Los Angeles' proximity to the Pacific Ocean has a great impact on the weather. The onshore flow helps regulate the temperature where there is a fairly consistent temperature throughout the year.
As mentioned, the city is bounded by the Santa Monica Mountains to the north, with the San Gabriel Mountains bordering to the east. This has a great effect of the smog levels in Los Angeles. This problem is fed by the pollution of millions of daily commuters.

Climate Change
The average annual temperature of Los Angeles since 1921 has increased, but the change has been less dramatic since 2000. It is also difficult to accurately evaluate climate change on such large scales without knowing greater details.
