Climate Insight: Culver City, CA
The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Culver City, California as a location with an annual average temperature of 64°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 72°F to a mean daily low of 55°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00042214, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Culver City sees about 14.1 inches of precipitation a year, with negligible snowfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. On the energy side, 1,240 heating degree days and 795 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Culver City scores 82/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, August-driven heat at the peak of summer, and December-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
