Pleasant weather year-round
Perhaps one of my favorite things about living in LA is the pleasant year-round weather.
Its hard to complain about living in a city that averages284 days of sunshinea year.
Winter temperatures average highs of 69F and summer temperatures average 80-85F.
Another perk of living in LA is that the city doesnt get humid and muggy!
If youve ever lived in a muggy city, youll know exactly how big of a perk this is.
